Correct, and yes, that sounds like a good approach.

Yes - that should have happened for 3.0. Not sure how to deal with it now.

For the sqlite extension, that wouldn't be a problem: if they build
with a different MSVC release, it will automatically link with a
different CRT, which then will have a consistent set of FILE objects.

The issue only arises if you pass FILE* across DLLs which in turn
are linked with different CRTs.
