of course you are right.  you have to know what you are doing and not mix c
runtimes.

excellent idea and i agree it's less risky...  but i think it won't work for
all cases.  there are times when you still want all the debug defines. etc.,
you really want a debug build, but don't want debug python libs (and
sometimes you don't want debug c runtime either).
