Yes, I was wondering about that. I'm not (immediately) sure of the consequences of changing it, so I went for the sissy weasel option and left it as-is.

/MT means that Irrlicht statically links to the msvc runtimes (which IMO is the best option). This means that Irrlicht is not dependent on the user having the 2005 or 2008 runtimes installed in order to run an irrlicht app.

/MD requires the install of the msvc runtime DLL's from Microsoft, which is the reason many applications and demos on the forums require the runtimes, /MD is turned on by default and most don't know/care that the option is there.
