Some simple extensions to dub are required for proper windows support:

1. The Ability to generate full build selections for Visual D. I only get Win32 when using `dub generate VisualD`. Win64 support should be added, along with alternate compiler support. (GDC and LDC)

dub generate visuald --arch=x86_64 etc.

You have to use flags to configure the project.


No, I am talking about adding the different build options inside the visual studio project. When one generates the project, it should add the 64bit build options regardless. It is a standard with all Visual Studio projects in C++, C#, and VB. It should not require a flag to set. It doesn't change the architecture but only provides a simple build option.

When I use the flag, I only get 64... I want both!!! I should be able to switch seemlessly between 64-bit and 32-bit by using the configuration manager/combo box like every other normal project in VS has as default.



2. The ability to refresh a project by adding new dependencies and files to the previously generate Visual D project. It should retain modified settings of the project file. I'm thinking of something like `dub refresh VisualD` would work.

Yeah, that would be nice.


The current generate settings are just child's toys without the ability to retain and update project info.

Thank You.
