But the basic code should compile. We've just had the case when a
coworker tried my code on Windows (I develop on Linux). It compiled with
the latest version of dmd. No questions asked. When it comes to system
stuff it's:
version (Windows) {
   // some odd shit
}

version (OS X) {
   // some other odd shit
}

version (POSIX) {
   // normal stuff
}

But these are little things like the "tmp" directory and so on. D
usually compiles on all the major platforms.

Of course, but not everything work out of the box. Some stuff is 
inherently different and one needs to take that in to account. Hopefully 
the D standard library has already done that and you don't need to 
know/care about it :)
