http://home.gdal.org/tmp/vcredist_x86.exe going away

[warmerdam]

I noticed that load_win_installers.sh pulls the Visual C++ redistributable from home.gdal.org. That server is going away and it isn't clear to me why that redistributable was needed.

Most of the Visual Studio redistributables are available in the OSGeo4W msvcrt package. I think the vcredist_x86.exe grab should be removed from load_win_installers.sh.
