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.

LLVM's LLD is another option for linking on Windows (and cross-linking
to Windows from other platforms); they used not to support debuginfos
(.pdb), not sure what the current state is. `lld-link.exe` and
`llvm-lib.exe` work as drop-in replacements,
I tried lld-link just yesterday on a small DMD generated test file.
Apart from not supporting the /MAP option it worked without debug
information, but choked on debug symbols.
