Of course it can be done with an additional license agreement
with microsoft.
Of course VS Shell is still way more than is necessary for our
purposes.
I believe VS shell is redistributable, because it was made
exactly for that.
Yeah, if the linker (and other relevant files) for Win64 could be
licensed from MS so they could be packaged with the DMD installer
that would be a sweet deal. I know D is in bootstrap mode right
now but this could be one of the things that helps get it to the
necessary polished phase that helps get the acceptance past the
10,000 mark.
It takes a standard half-day or so to install Visual Studio. So
any way to make setting up a Win64 environment faster is much
appreciated. And I would feel necessary to get wide acceptance.
