Well, it is always fun to take Microsoft as an example. This
one is particularly interesting. If you build your product
using Visual C++ and decide to leave debugging enabled in
the released product, you will find that you *cannot* distribute
your product, because it now has dependencies on DLLs that
you do not have the right to distribute. What a pain...
