Comment(by phroggie):

 Long story short, there's little the libpurple developers will be able to
 do to completely workaround a mixed-runtime scenario; it's just something
 that simply should not be done.

 You can, however, read [http://www.nabble.com/Compiling-libpurple-with-MS-
 Visual-C%2B%2B-2008-Express-tp19124226p19124647.html John Bailey's awesome
 reply] on the Devel mailing list about building libpurple against the
 newer Microsoft Visual Studio runtimes. Once you've accomplished the chore
 of building all of libpurple and dependencies under the same runtime
 (after giving datallah his thanks for the .vcproj's), you should be able
 to link libpurple into just about any MSVS-built project that you so
 desire.

 Replying to [comment:1 Sunil Mohan]:
 > Ofcourse, this requires bumping glib version requirement to 2.8.

 IIRC, libpurple aims to be compatible all the way back to 2.0. Such a
 large requirement change would probably warrant a much better argument
 than this.
