          Issue ID: 16954
           Summary: MSVC build fails on DMD 2.072.1 release
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: musicaljelly at gmail.com

I downloaded and installed a fresh copy of DMD 2.072.1, opened
dmd2/dmd/vcbuild/dmd.sln, and tried to build. I got several compilation errors
related to missing files, in particular:

1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\glue.c': No such file
or directory
1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\msc.c': No such file
or directory
1>c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\toir.c': No such file
or directory

According to Walter in
https://forum.dlang.org/post/odrwelyfjvhysggeemcd@forum.dlang.org some files in
the build have been translated to .d files, but the VS build probably hasn't
been updated accordingly.
