I am afraid my vote is to keep it on. Manifests are a fact of life on
windows nowadays and are not going to go away.

I tried long and hard to avoid putting the ms redist exe in our
distributions but gave in, in the end; one reason being that I was not sure
of the legality of redistributing the ms dlls without the licence which is
bound up in the exe with them.
