Okay, I got a bit further with this and discovered 2 things...

1) AFAICT I do need to specify "--buildtype debug" or "--buildtype 
release" for each build.  If I leave that instruction out, the generated 
manifest seems to link arbitrarily to either the MS DebugCRT or the 
ReleaseCRT (maybe it just repeats the previous setting?)

2) For 'BidiTest.exe' and 'BidiCharacterTest.exe" the built exe's won't 
run unless I use Microsoft's "mt" application to embed those manifests.  
To be honest, that doesn't surprise me.  What does surprise me is that 
the other built executables DO run - even without a manifest embedded!!

Anyway... having taken the above steps I can now run both my Debug 
builds of 'BidiTest.exe' and 'BidiCharacterTest.exe" and also their 
Release builds and in each case, both programs show me this output:-

       No errors found! :-)

(and in all cases, that's building with VS2005).  I still can't make 
those particular exe's build with VS2015... :-(
