No, the two digits of the DLL match the version number of C++.  The
confusion arises because the product is called "Visual Studio 2008", but it
includes Visual C++ 9.0, and hence msvcrt90.dll.  People say "VC8" when
they really mean Visual Studio 2008.

  Visual Studio 98    -  VC++ 6.0
  Visual Studio 2002  -  VC++ 7.0
  Visual Studio 2003  -  VC++ 7.1
  Visual Studio 2005  -  VC++ 8.0
  Visual Studio 2008  -  VC++ 9.0
