doesn't -m32mscoff recquire phobos to be compiled as COFF too ? I 
think that travis uses the official releases (win32 releases have 
phobos as OMF) so he can't run the unittests like that...

The dark side of the story is that you have to recompile phobos 
by hand with -m32mscoff...I'm not even sure that there is a 
option for this in the win32.mak...
