[D-runtime] Arghhh, DLLs broken on Win32 *again*!

[Steve Schveighoffer]

Forgot to complete my point...

What I was saying is, we do not need to be on Windows to test that gcstub still builds and links.  I think part of druntime's unit tests should test that gcstub is up to date.

So I added that to druntime's normal GC.  But I didn't update the gcstub, and it broke the DLL build.  See here: http://forum.dlang.org/post/4B8352FC.2030408@digitalmars.com
