The compiler and linker settings are adjusted to switch from dynamic linking of CRT and MFC libraries to static linking. This makes it possible to run Debug builds on a system without VS installed. It also removes the requirement to install the VC++ Redistributable package or bundle the required DLLs.
To counteract the resulting binary bloat, some linker flags are added to the Release and Final configurations: linker reference optimization is enabled and incremental linking is disabled. (Note that the first implies the latter.)
