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

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

Pretty much, except the entry point DLL version won't increment unless there's a breaking change to the API. So you have to know where it's from, but (AIUI) the l1-0-0 file will always be available. At some point it may turn into a wrapper rather than a redirect, but that doesn't really matter.

I'm not sure there's any better way to provide access to the functions other than adding them to msvcrtmodule. It's more work, but far more friendly. I hope we have a pretty low bar for adding functions to that module.
