I need to eventually be able to export a

how would using dmc conflict with this goal?
dmd/dmc output omf object files, windows infrastructure is all
coff object files. linux/mingw/etc are.. something else..
your options are
1. use dmd/dmc, and if you need to link to windows api dlls or
others, use coffimplib (here -> ftp://ftp.dlang.org/) to convert
the appropriate lib files.
2. if you can stomach the loss of generality, use dmd -m64, which
does output coff object files and go your merry way with vc++. (I
don't do this, so don't quote me on this)
3. use the mingw builds of ldc/gcc (I don't do this either and
can't comment on how much fun you'll have getting dlls out of
them/linking to other dlls)
