Technical details: Image randomization is a feature on Vista/7 that loads DLLs at random(-ish) addresses, improving security and reducing the amount of DLL relocation work required. This option has no effect on WinXP.

DevNote: Moved jNO_DEFAULT from the Pcsx2Defs.h, since it's too dependent on the Common libraries. It's now in Assertions.h. Plugins can use __assume(0); directly instead or roll their own.

* Changed w32pthreads library into a DLL so that it can be used from plugins correctly. (NOTE: you will need to make sure to build and copy w32pthreads.dll into your pcsx2 folder).
* Switched pcsx2 from static CRT to shared CRT linking (needed to ensure correct exception handling behavior in multithreaded DLL environments).
* Switched all standard plugins in the Suite to the shared CRT, to match pcsx2's new style. :)
* Renamed _DEBUG (depreciated) to PCSX2_DEBUG (excluding Gabest projects since the ATL still uses it).
* Added intrin.h to Pcsx2Defs.h (so that it is included universally), and added intrin_x86.h for GCC compatibility.
Notes:
* Current plugin version compatibility status should be unaffected. The new shared-CRT plugins work fine with older versions of Pcsx2, and the older plugins should work fine with the new shared-CRT version of pcsx2; so long as the necessary CRT DLLs are available on the user's system.
* All future packagings of pcsx2 will include w32pthreads.dll and the Common Runtimes (CRTs).
* Existing users who do not have MSVC installed can obtain the CRTs by downloading the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (anyone with msvc installed should already have all they need).
