[issue23606] ctypes.util.find_library("c") no longer makes sense

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

AIUI, by the time Windows 10 or Visual Studio 2015 releases (since it's now a Windows component, it's technically on a different schedule, even though the main developer is still working against Visual Studio's schedule) and probably sooner (VS 2015 RC is most likely).

It's always possible that they'll decide not to remove them, but the current plan is that loading ucrtbase.dll directly will not be helpful, since it would prevent Windows from making breaking changes to the API that the api-*.dll files would mask.
