Would you accept a PR that adds `dmd -ldflags` ?

For C++/D linking, I used the C++ linker for LDC (master), but 
now I am changing it to using the D compiler with "-L-lstdc++" to 
link. It solves the issue of finding the location of 
phobos/druntime (different for dmd and ldc) and other required 
libs for D code. It also solves a Windows-specific linking 
problem when main() is in C++ code [1].
