No, but i can confirm that libmicrohttpd built with mingw-w64 links to
msvcrt.dll, whereas VS builds link to msvcrXXX.dll.

Quickest hack, i guess, is to LoadLibraryA("msvcrt.dll"), msvcrt_free =
GetProcAddress (GetModuleHandleA ("msvcrt.dll"), "free"), then call
msvcrt_free() on the memory libmicrohttpd returns.
