I've found D on Windows to be very easy for myself and for my end 
users... but not for intermediate developers.

For myself, I just set up the necessary .lib files in my dmd lib 
folder and problem solved. I can do conversions or generation as 
needed.

For the end users, I'll just do a binary distribution and things 
just work for them.

But intermediate devs having to set up the environment can be a 
pain... that's why my libs are set up in a particular way to work 
with dmd out of the box and other stuff opt in..
