[PATCH] MSVC: link dynamically to the CRT

Dynamic linking is generally preferred over static linking, and MSVCRT.dll has been integral part of Windows for a long time.

This also fixes linker warnings for _malloc and _free in zlib.lib, which seems to be compiled for MSVCRT.dll already.

The DLL version also exports some of the CRT initialization functions, which are hidden in the static libcmt.lib (e.g. __wgetmainargs, required by subsequent Unicode patches).
