Do we always distribute msvcp.dll with Windows JDKs now?

This question was brought up in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/15096,
the issue is that awt.dll has historically tried to avoid depending on
msvcp.dll, and as
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/15096#issuecomment-1796303631 points
out, it is unclear whether it is now safe to introduce a dependency to
msvcp.dll in awt.dll since it is unclear whether msvcp.dll is now always
distributed with the JDK, though I am fairly confident that it is (The fix
in that PR is dependent on some facilities in the C++ Standard Library).
Can anyone confirm whether this is the case?

best regards,
Julian
