New submission from Steve Dower:
With the changes to the CRT on Windows, it no longer makes any sense to call
find_library("c") or ("m") as there is no single C Runtime DLL. The new
structure has a grouped and layered approach that is better for versioning, so
we now link to "api-ms-win-crt-*-l1-1-0.dll" where "*" is something like
"filesystem", "heap", "locale", "math", "string", etc. and the "l1-1-0" part is
a version.
I don't know what the intended purpose of this function is, so I can't suggest
a good replacement other than very fast deprecation in 3.4 and raising an error
in 3.5. Any better suggestions?
