Ah, sorry I see it now...there is the assert and then a backtrace
that indicates that an llvm file had the assert, but the actual
error does print from within dxxclasses.cpp before the assert
code backtrace.

Ok, cool. Hopefully that is the only difficulty left.

Actually, I am not totally sure whether the current LDC will
build with 3.6 on Win64. I didn't want to try it until 3.6 is
finalized because building takes forever on Windoze!!!!!!!
Probably 10 times slower than Linux/OSX...and my Win7 machine
is a dual quad-core i7 with 12GB RAM!! A much better machine
than my Linux machines.

Anyways, once 3.6 final comes out we'll have to  see if it
works, I guess.

Thanks,
