I've also been doing builds on 2005 (and 2008) and providing those 
builds for quite a while, and yes you have to either install the new 
runtime dll (using that installer) or bundle it in side-by-side 
configuration.  I have yet to hit runtime issues but I know other people 
have not been so lucky.  In any case I'm just asking for "official" 
builds with new compilers for people to start testing/using.
