I'm not sure when it went away but make is distributed 
(currently, at least) with dmc, which you are prompted about in 
the current D installer on Windows.

Realistically we should probably be moving away from makefiles 
anyway, the build scripts in dmd's repo aren't too big and they 
actually work unlike bullying VS and make to actually work.
