I think we should not do it for the dmd 2.067 release. It would be good 
to have it integrated into the test infrastructure before adding it to 
the release. Yesterday I tried the unittests with Win32 COFF and hit a 
regression (?): https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4504

I'll look into that, but dm make tends to make it messy...

Yes. The default sc.ini expects it in windows\lib32mscoff.
