Fifth and hopefully final version. Not much changed. I put this together
so it represented the final iteration of my changes that will be going
into pull requests.

I stopped it from downloading a modified dmd2beta.zip (because of the
licensing issue I'd forgotten about) and just download the original and
move phobos64.lib and gcstub64.obj to lib64 in the installer.  DMD now
supports (as of 2.064 beta 2) LINKCMD in Environment64 so I no longer
need dmd changes.

People using Visual Studio Express 2010 and Windows SDK 7.0A: Sorry,
couldn't think of a good solution for that combo.

Thanks to everyone who helped me test.

some finishing touches on this in a moment then calling it good)


I finally got around to making a version of Visual D that should work for x64 out of the box with both the zip distribution and the new D windows installer. Unfortunately it has to override the settings made by the installer to sc.ini.

I have prepared a release candidate here:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald/releases

3 tiny nitpicks regarding the D installer:
- it does not remember the directory of a previous installation
- it is listed in the "Program and Features" as a mere "D" without any further info. That could be a bit more verbose. - it would be nice if it could also provide a download of the 64-bit curl library

The link to the Visual D installer will probably get invalid pretty soon, so maybe we should add some "LATEST" file somewhere in the repository to grab the link to the latest release?
