To my knowledge, VS 2005 does not contain the static runtime  
libraries, although the Platform SDK does contain some static  
libraries, such as libcp.lib.

So a couple of questions:

1) Anyone know a version of gmp which will work with all VS versions?

There are precompiled .DLL versions of GMP for Windows and directions  
for compiling it as a DLL under cygwin and patch files for compiling  
under VC++.NET at:
