Currently the new runtime seems to implement all the old functions.
Some of the new functionality are:
- Run-time function parameter validation
- "ll" (long long) size support for printf and long long type
- Some compatibility updates: atoi(), snprintf() family, errno
handling, fopen(), open(), ....
- All the not documented bug fixes .... :-)

Today there is no special need of the new runtime. But it will be
mandatory for a full 64 bit Windows binary. (but this is a still
remote problem, there some other problem to solve before .... ).

Only some optimization in configure and in lib files is still needed.
