I know that mscvrt.dll contains a library of c calls for use in windows and usually lives in the windows sub-directory...

But I seem to have a lot of different versions scattered elsewhere..

Is there any value in chasing down the 'latest' version?

Not really, unless you are getting illegal operation/application errors pointing to that file. Many apps are compiled in C/VB with a specific version of that file. There is not gaurantee that they will work with a later version. MS does a pissy job of regression testing its app component files and .dlls before publishing to developers.
