I don't, I use HeapAlloc, HeapFree, CreateFile, and so forth.  Something like WinVerbs shouldn't need to use any of those things. The compat libraries unfortunately do, and for those linking to the DLL runtime would be the way to go.  Document that so that clients know not to statically link and you'd be fine.
