Thanks, I tried merging the modifications into the 
'win32mscoff.mak' files I've made, since it seems like there's 
too much hacking to get this to work right, and why not just have 
a 3rd build option that reflects what it really makes?

Anyway, I still am encountering the same problem previously 
described with those error messages.  I've narrowed it down to a 
seeming problem with the way the versioning seems to work?

The file stdio.d is importing 'FHND_WCHAR' and 'FHND_TEXT', which 
are only declared for the CRuntime_DigitalMars version.  (The 
file is importing from druntime.import.core.stdc where those 
symbols are found.)

I tried forcing version=CRuntime_Microsoft in the DMD flags, but 
it doesn't seem to care.

Perhaps this is an issue with the current beta, but I'm not 
experienced enough with make files or versioning etc to make that 
determination.
