Thanks for that - I'd completely forgotten about the existence of that
module.

I've tried it and I have one question though - it seems to dump the manifest
and
DLLs into the bin directory - it was my understanding that these had to go
into
a subdirectory of bin called Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Am I misinformed ?

If it works, it's very convenient though.
