new std.process and "Win/DMC runtime issues"?

[Nick Sabalausky]

The limitations of the current std.process are getting to be a big pain in 
my ass for script-style programs. Last I heard, the new std.process was 
blocked by "issues with the DMC runtime prevent it from working on Windows".

What's up with that? Any news or any specifics? And more hopefully: Any 
workarounds to the windows issue so I could at least grab it and use it 
pre-acceptance-into-phobos?
