 Replying to [comment:1 dcf]:
 > What is the effect of the dependency? Does it mean that the Python PTs
 don't run for some users? From what I remember of msvcr90.dll, it comes
 from having once installed the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/ms235299.aspx Visual C++ Redistributable] package, so users wh
 ohave never installed any other software that requires it are affected.

 I have not heard any complains about that yet. Thus, there might be no
 visible effect at all. I just found that issue today while looking closer
 at the dependencies of the above mentioned files.
