One way to work around this is to copy msvcp120.dll and msvcr120.dll
(numbers vary with the VS version) into the application dir together
with the rest of the dll's you need. With Qt applications you usually
only need those two. You can also link with the runtime statically, but
I haven't met many Qt applications that do this.
Another reason why I finally chose this way is that users might
uninstall the redist package (thinking they don't know what that is and
don't need it) and then my software fails.
