Drew,

if you compile with 2005 you will get a different runtime linked to
those parts of your app for sure (which can cause some problems if you
pass memory between runtimes), I tried it with some things here and it
'appeared to work' but it was not a very exhaustive test, so your
mileage may vary. I had Qt libraries compiled with 2005 running with
2003 compiled code.
