I know very little about the windows side of d, as I really don't use windows for anything other than getting to other
machines and it's office suite.  I decided to lend Walter a hand with getting the alpha up to the point of being ready
for auto-testing (it's not quite there yet, but it's close).  For any windows 'why' question(s), I'm a poor resource.

I also don't intend to spend a lot of time coming up to speed on the issues.  My todo list is way too long already and
investing in improving a platform I don't use isn't enough to add it, sorry.
