It can be, and it is. Previously, there were issues compiling it on Windows 
which caused the compiler to run out of memory. So, I added a version 
identifier for the unit tests which was disable on Windows. Those issues have 
been fixed, so the version identifier is now always enabled. I left it in, 
because it made Don's life easier when he was trying to reduce compiler bugs 
(since, without the unit tests, less gets pulled in, and less of std.datetime 
gets instantiated). The version identifier could be removed, but the ease of 
disabling the unit tests if necessary merited leaving it in.
