msvcrt.dll is the C library from Visual Studio 6. OpenJPEG upstream is
still using Visual Studio 6.

No, if you're taking the build from upstream OpenJPEG, its built with
VS6. :)

You likely need to rebuild it yourself using VS2003.

That or its a link order problem:

Or I guess you can't mix static and dynamic linking with the (threaded)
C runtime?

Near as I can tell, yes. If there's a way to make newer VS link with
older runtimes, I haven't been able to google it yet. It is however
possible to convince MinGW to link with different MSVC runtimes using
various methods:

Eugh. Since when do I know anything about developing on Windows. Gee, I
wonder why giant monolithic C++ applications are standard operating
procedure. ;P
