They're in the sysfiles.zip on the cvsnt website.  They originally come 
from the microsoft DsClient installer, but I don't need the whole of 
Active Directory just the secur32 wrapper is enough (which has no 
dependencies so is OK on it's own).

You end up with a huge executable file, so it doesn't help - the more 
files that use MFC the more the overhead gets.. it doesn't take many 
before it's not worth it.

I could look at producing an installer without the runtimes... it'd be 
pretty small I'd expect.  For upgrades that's all that's needed really 
as I'm not anticipating any VC/MFC updates for a little while.
