Of course, that's assuming you've got the Microsoft Build Tools installed either independently or as part of a Visual Studio installation. If not, you'll be using the LLVM linker that ships with DMD. I believe in that case it should be `-L-Llib`.

Thanks. I did have SDL in a project/lib folder and was trying to 
set LIB and then use -L and other options, but I suppose I borked 
that up as well.  Thanks again for the tips!  I'll be mucking 
around with it again later.
