I'd only really just offer it as one option, in case a user of your 
library is forced to use another library with the static runtime.  It 
doesn't mean that you don't have a static library without it, it just 
means you aren't embedding the entire standard c/c++ runtime library 
into yours, bloating memory usage, and inviting lots of symbol 
collisions when versions don't quite match.  Myself and my colleagues 
have collectively lost significant hair on this one, and it took a while 
for me to figure out exactly what it all meant since it's kind of 
confusing. (and the error messages more so)
