Actually, there are multiple problems here. TSVN *does* install the
C-runtime, but it uses the merge modules provided by MS to do that. And
those don't install the api-ms-win-crt-*** files because those should be
installed via WindowsUpdate. Unfortunately, that update hasn't been
pushed to the official WindowsUpdates yet (I hope it will happen soon).
Once that happened, all OS should have those dlls installed already
(Win10 already has them).

And of course, the x64 version of the merge modules are completely
broken, so I had to manually edit them to make them work.

As for the win32 msi of TSVN: yes, you have to install the C-Runtime
manually if the windows update hasn't installed those dlls yet. Nothing
I can do about that now.

TSVn 1.9.1 however won't have that problem anymore, because I've changed
the linking of TSVN so that it links now statically to the CRT and the
MFC libs. I'm not sure when MS is going to fix those merge modules and I
just didn't wanted to risk another release with these problems.
