As far as I know, the difference just happened, and there is point to it. 
The style without "=" is older and wasn't followed when new switches were 
added.

Consistency between different switches has to be weighed against stability 
here. So far stability has won, I guess.

FWIW, dmd seems to be in good company as gcc is in a similar situation. For 
example, `gcc -std=c11 -ofoo foo.c` is a proper gcc command line, generating 
the file "foo".
