ok, that did change things. So here is the question:

1. I used Visual D to generate the DMD+LDC+GDC configuration.
2. I selected Debug LDC
3. I could compile and, at least I thought ldc was compiling the 
project.

It seems though that either I somehow changed the compiler to dmd 
or it was never set...

I might have changed it a long time ago as this project is old, 
but I can't imagine why I would have set that property.

In any case, seems to be working as expect from changing that 
compiler setting.

Thanks.
