Hello Elie,

I have tried to build and use a few versions of Calypso/ldc with 
vs2013 and only the newest combination of LLVM and ldc from git 
work. llvm-3.6 with the corresponding ldc doesn't compile cleanly 
and neither does llvm-3.5 with ldc or Calypso with vs2013. Lastly 
Calypso with llvm3.7git doesn't compile, which is to be expected 
because of the many win64 patches that have been pushed to ldc 
the last couple months.

Anyways, I just thought I would let you, and any interested 
others, know that Calypso won't build and run properly (or at 
least I couldn't get it to build/run) on Win7 with vs2013 today. 
Maybe things would work with llvm-3.5 and mingw with clang? I 
don't think so, though.

I'll take a look at merging together Calypso and ldc since the 
split, if you like...hopefully not many conflicts. Not sure what 
all changed in llvm between 3.5 and 3.7, though.

Thanks,
Kelly
