VC8 Redist Help with plugin

I've created a plugin with VS2005. It seems that it is dependent on VC80.CRT. I was wondering if there was anyway to package the redist with my installer to make this work or if I would have to somehow compile without depending on the redist.

Before you go mad with this, check this recent thread:

Determine if the vc8 dlls are installed - Winamp & Shoutcast Forums

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

Through the forum discussion and the referred links, I found my own stable solution.

Wouldn't easier just remove the VS2005's dependencies?
