In preparation for an upcoming blog series, and partly as a reaction to
the "Windows is a second-class citizen" criticisms that have been
cropping up lately, I've put together a primer on getting set up to use
C and D together on Windows. It includes some background on why we need
to install the MS toolchain to produce 64-bit binaries.

Thanks for the nice article. Two minor remarks:
- the D installer already creates batch files dmd2vars32.bat and
dmd2vars64.bat that modify the PATH environment variable (but don't
include the DMC path)
- DMD doesn't need lib.exe to build static libraries, that's built into DMD.
