LDC is the wrong place to do it; after all, you might want to use it with
different MSVC versions (even though currently you really want to be using VS
2015).

We could of course add some heuristics to LDC to try and guess the version the
user wants to use. I'm not sure whether it is worth the effort, but I'm sure
that if you provide a patch, Kai and Martin will consider it.
