__acrtused

The assembly listing from a MS-C compiler shows a 'EXTRN __acrtused ABS' entry.
If these objects are linked in without the crt0.obj from the library, this
symbol ends up being undefined.

What specific role does the __acrtused variable perform during linking/loading
and during program execution.  If I choose to define this public, what should
it be initialized to?

thanks
