I added the manifest to load the correct version of the side-by-side assembly, many users were getting msvcr90.dll load errors (there's a very long thread somewhere on the forum) because they had various msvcr90.dll's installed all over the place and it would load the wrong version. This does come from the time we built XBMC with vs2005 but I'm sure it's still needed for various prebuilt dll's that we load that depend on the older runtime.
