[PD] Troubles running Pd on Windows XP Professional

[David Medine]

I don't know about other dependencies, but I'm pretty sure that msvcr90 
is as high as you need to go for XP. I've definitely seen that DLL on 
sites apart form Microsoft's, but I guess that doesn't prove that it is 
freely distributable...
