For DMD, the Makefiles are only there for legacy CI reasons or 
AUTO_BOOTSTRAP and they might even be fully removed soonish.

So at least to build DMD, everything should work out of the box 
on any platform when executing `./src/build.d` (or `rdmd 
src\build.d` on Windows) and there should be no need to fight 
with the hard-coded paths to Visual Studio 10.
If not, please open issues on Bugzilla (and/or report here).
