This is true. I've played around w/ this C back end w/ some toy programs and and it works reasonably well, but I forgot about it. At any rate, could this be used as a temporary kludge to get LDC "working" on unsupported platforms like Windows until it works natively? Basically, LDC for Windows and other unsupported platforms would compile the D code to C, and then compile the C code w/ the native C compiler for the platform.
