xulrunner-stub requires msvcrt71.dll if xulrunner is built using vc7.1 this means that we may need to copy msvcrt71.dll around when we install xulrunner apps using "xulrunner --install-app" ... or maybe there is a better solution.

depends lists msvcp71d.dll on my debug trunk build for xulrunner-stub.exe as well. Apparently it uses this function: ?_Nomemory@std@@YAXXZ

I don't care about VC7 much, but am happy to morph this to cover VC8, which is what will be building XR 1.9.

Kill two birds with one stone. The changes to xpcom/glue/[standalone/]Makefile.in mean that anyone using the xpcomglue or xpcomglue_s libraries are not constrained into a particular CRT, because the library itself contains no directives. Then we can link the stub against the new spiffy glue library.

Note that this doesn't mean the stub actually works correctly yet when used with VC8; the manifests for the CRT are looking in the appdir instead of "next to the DLL". But that's a different bug, and I'll file it as such.

Fixed on trunk. I'm vaguely tempted to ask for this for 1.8.1, but I guess not.
