A disclaimer alone isn't enough to CYA if you're distributing copyrighted works. Countless examples of this exist from the rom sites to mp3.com. msvcrt.dll is ridiculously common, so I'd just google for it and link to some places that already distribute the library (They might even have MS's permission to do so). If the Microsoft legal army gets bored and decides to harass you, it would be nice to be able to claim you're not distributing anything Microsoft has rights over. Sounds like you're already busy enough and wouldn't welcome another distraction.

The chances of this ever actually being a problem for you if you decide to keep distributing the libraries are slim to none, I realize, but I'd just hate to see you hastled over something so trivial.
