When a static library is used is because people want to reduce 
dependencies on DLLs, so the most logical choice is to use the C 
runtime that links statically. If you choose the Multithreaded DLL 
option (and you can choose to do it) you will have to install or 
assume that the correct DLLs are available on the system.
The tricky part is that the linker that assembles the project with 
the static library must work on object files compiled using the same option.
