I'm uploading this patch for discussion, in case someone cares. This code (for Windows) adds a function ctypes.util.find_msvcrt(). This function returns the filename of the MSVC runtime library that the current Python executable uses. If calling functions from the C runtime library, it is very important to use the SAME dll that Python uses. Further, this patch changes ctypes.util.find_library(name) so that the MSVC runtime library name is returned when searching for "c" or "m".
