Not that I can see, looking here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vclib/html/vcrefRunTimeLibraryReference.asp

The library found at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=209006 seems to 
have what is needed, but I really don't think we can impose that extra 
requirement at this stage of the release cycle, do you? ISTM either we 
need to revert this or change it to use an API that is already known to 
be supported.
