I had to be careful about always running everything from within 
the visual studio native tools command prompt. I also had to put 
curl.lib in the environment lib path, (which was not defined at 
all on a fresh install), and put all of the LLVM and LDC bin 
directories in the path as well. Finally, I also had to modify 
the LLVM config file for both LDC and Ninja to pass 
/LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO to the msvc linker or none of the debug 
builds would compile.

c:\ldcenv\ninja-ldc2-x64\bin\ldc2.conf and
%LDCROOT%\etc\ldc2.conf

add    ,"-L/LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO"    to switches

Run ctest with -V as an option and it should give you some extra 
output. I'm not sure why it would just loop and consume memory 
though, but the third test does take a very long time to compile.
