This will make it easier to distribute universal module binaries.

after some investigation, this will not be possible since it'd block access to things inside the crt at runtime (which includes stuff such as malloc, which we'd like to ideally preserve)

moreover, it seems since visual studio 2015 (which is older than the oldest supported version), they are no longer changing the redist library name (it's been vcruntime140.dll for a while now) so this should not be a problem for us
