I think that is the jist of it.  OTOH, MS has embeded the wrong dll 
references into the exe files it created.  So, one or the other needs to 
be patched.  Seems easier to edit a text file, instead of every exe file 
created.

I suppose you could do that.  It would mean bringing along extra files 
that you would not need for any working version of VS.  I really find it 
hard to believe the MS put this bug into SP 1.  It makes it impossible 
to distribute software built with this compiler without a hack.  I guess 
we could make InstallRequiredSystemLibraries "patch" the redist files as 
it copies them if we could detect VS 9 SP 1....  Not sure I know how to 
detect it...
