Description

The Windows DLL builds (e.g. Debug and Release) currently are linked against the Microsoft Visual C++ C Runtime DLLs (using the /MDd and /MD options, respectively). This means that it cannot function without the corresponding MSVCRnnn.DLL file, so the end user must install the proper Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

Please consider adding build configurations that are statically linked to the CRT (almost identical to those above, but using the /MTd and /MT options, respectively). This would give developers the option of using a Xerces DLL that doesn't have this dependency on the Redistributable package.
