A semi related experience is that I was using dlangui successfully on 
the Mac, and ported to a windows system I had and it worked no issues. 
However, then I tried to deploy to the 1/2 dozen windows setups we have 
and it segfaults in a different manner on each setup.  I'm sure it's 
related to dlls, initialization, and packaging but it makes for a 
difficult and unfavorable experience.  This is reproducible with the 
example programs distributed with dlangui (some crash, some run).  If 
the CI testers had covered a reasonable plethora of windows 
configurations/versions, this would have been identified.  (One can make 
the same argument about my development environment too.)

I then thought that maybe LDC would have been a better experience, but 
on windows, it comes with it's own case of worms...so I ran out of time 
before getting that to work either.

I've not had time to investigate the underlying cause, and when I do, 
I'll submit a bug report.  I desperately want better tools and think D 
has potential, I just needed them yesterday. ;)
