Thanks for the info, I will try this with the gdcwin 3.4.5 build later.
(will do the fake /gdc mount, instead of installing in /mingw like now)

My configure options: http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/gcc-3.4.5-build.sh
(should be the same as what MinGW is using, plus the D language enabled)

(i.e. to build gdmd.bat, for Windows users not using MSYS/a real shell)
