Visual Studio 2010 uses a C/C++ runtime that is not compatible with pre Windows XP SP2 systems (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2005279). The dependencies created manifest in imported functions from kernel32.dll. Vscompat2k removes the use of the functions that are not supported in pre Windows XP SP2 systems (EncodePointer, DecodePointer, HeapSetInformation, HeapQueryInformation). These functions are replaced with a dynamic version that uses the function only if it is available, if it is not a no-op version of the function is used.
