News article, Microsoft releases Clang with Microsoft CodeGen:

The interesting bit is at the end:

"
Clang with Microsoft CodeGen isn't just a private fork of the 
open-source Clang compiler. We'll be contributing the vast majority of 
the Clang and LLVM changes we've made back to the official Clang and 
LLVM sources. The biggest of these changes is support for emitting debug 
information compatible with the Visual Studio debugger
"

With these developments, one asks again, is it wise to spend any more 
time working and using the Digital Mars backend for D?...
