I didn't know it was possible to disable these...

Unfortunately, optlink (the linker that comes with dmd) fails to work 
for some cases when there are spaces in the filename, e.g. the response 
file name. Visual D could avoid that by specifying relative paths, if 
the spaces are in a name of a parent directory. But it still fails if 
your output directory name contains spaces (e.g. by reusing the 
configuration name).

Visual D provide some fallback for most cases if the short name 
conversion fails, though.
