I've actually modified dmd's frontend to support using the VS tool chain for linking 32 bit executables. But I didn't understand the backend to seperate the 32bit binary generation vs 64bit. I believe it shouldn't be too much. But I really don't understand it so if anyone is willing to help on this. I haven't broken 64bit generation as far as I know. Because I added a cli argument (-msvc) which is enabled for -m64 automatically on Windows.
I'd love to have an option like that. Win32 is at the very least going to be a target for many years to come (for some also a development platform) and the OPTLINK/OMF business is a real impediment.
