Use VC-LTL in your Rust projects

VC-LTL is a build toolchain that allows developers to use the Windows built-in C runtime libraries elegantly. It allows you to write binaries that only rely on the Windows built-in msvcrt.dll or ucrtbase.dll for the C runtime library. This allows you to achieve the goal of avoiding the deployment of additional MSVC libraries, solving the FLS cap issue and reducing the size of the binary significantly.

Since I have contributed the implementation of Rust language support to the VC-LTL 5.x source code repository recently, see here for details.

So readers of this article can simply add the following to [dependencies] in the Cargo.toml file.
