Wow! Game changing work here, IMO!

Question:  You are using a modified version of LDC, but is that 
compiler required to consume link to a library created with that 
custom compiler?  What I mean is:  Can you use this modified 
version of LDC to create a library, and then use a generic D 
compiler to build an application that links to that library?
