 From my experience, it is the opposite. My VC++2003 IDE set /MT flag by 
default on projects and the command line built used the /MD flag 
implicitely. I could have set this default IDE setting myself a long 
time ago. I don't remember.
The check worked because it uses the same setting as for the library 
compilation.

In my case I needed /MT code and it is the reason why I added the 
"thread-safe" option to init.

I know that this /MT option is a frequent source of problems. I 
understand that forcing all code to be /MT would help but this won't 
yield most efficient code. User should have a way to step back from this.
