It is possible, however, that I might break D::CL for some platforms
while adding support for VMS - and I can't test it myself on Windows.
The compiler detection bit is very stable, but if D::CL breaks in some
other place it still might fail for you.
Perhaps someone should break it out into a Devel::CheckOS plugin like
Devel::CheckOS::OSFeatures::CcompilerAvailable. Whoever decides to do
that, prod me off-list if you need any help.
