Where does it leak the C runtime ? I can understand the C ABI, but not 
the C runtime. It's possible to load the DLL just knowing the ABI and 
never touch the runtime or have to know about it.

There's a difference between being tied to a C runtime and having to 
link to it from any other language using libvlc.
