Description
The upgrade to vc7 means that we now have a dependency on these dll's: msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll

According to Microsoft, we aren't supposed to copy the dll's to the system directory like we did with msvcrt.dll in previous releases:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt_c_run.2d.time_libraries.asp

So with the upgrade to vc7, we are copying these dll's to the jdk/bin and jre/bin directories for all of those .exe's/dll's to use, but the javaws.exe in the system directory will not have access to them.  So we probably need to statically link these into the javaws.exe executable.
