   I think in the days when one could not rely on a CRTL being shipped with   
   the OS, there were mechanisms to statically link one in so you could   
   distribute your application.  It also probably made it possible to, for   
   example, build on v5.x and deploy to a mix of v4.x and v5.x systems, or   
   mix VAX C and DEC C modules.  This is a vague memory of a mechanism I   
   never used myself, so this may not be quite right, but something like   
   that is the origin of the RTLs Gerard is talking about.
