Problem with compiling static libraries

[Mike Parker]

I've finally been playing around with LDC on Windows and I love 
it so far. But I've run into something rather frustrating and I 
don't know if it's a bug or by design.

I'm using the MinGW backed version. The problem is that when I 
compile a static library, LDC decides to automatically prepends 
'lib' and appends '.lib' to the output. That was really 
unexpected. It breaks the build script I have for Derelict, which 
handles library name formatting based on platform and also drops 
all the libraries into a lib directory. DMD and GDC do the right 
thing, but given this command:

-ofC:\lib\libFoo.a

The compiler errors out because it's truing to find 
libC:\lib\libFoo.a.lib.

I've been scrolling through compiler options and can't find 
anything that allows me to set the output directory for the 
binary. -od handles object files well enough, but doesn't put the 
library there.

Have I overlooked something? Is there a way to specify the output 
directory for the binary?
