Description of the change
Attempt #2 at fixing the linked bug, this one at least shouldn't break on systems without the runtime libraries installed. Basically, it moves the dlls into a specially named subfolder that is also checked on exe startup.
I'm not certain it resolves the underlying issue, really we need the installer to handle the SxS stuff for us, which MSI tools will do. However, it is at least neater to have the dlls in a 'Microsoft.

As this has passed the basic testing, I'll include it in the 2.5b4 release so it can get wider feedback.
