I'm actually a linux and a mac user... this issue happens on a 
windows ci machine at work. I tried to update the file and 
compile phobos with that change, and I don't know how to make it 
work...

`
C:\D\dmd2\src\phobos>make -f win64.mak
cd etc\c\zlib
make -f win64.mak MODEL=64 zlib64.lib "CC=\"\Program Files 
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl""\"" 
"LIB=\"\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 
10.0\VC\bin\amd64\lib""\"" "VCDIR=\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft 
Visual Studio 10.0\VC"
"\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 
10.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl" /c /O2 /nologo /I"\Program Files 
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\INCLUDE" /Zl adler32.c
Error: '\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 
10.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl' not found
`

I don't know where I can find a 64bit toolchain for vs2010... I 
was expecting that dmd uses a newer compiler on windows...

I guess that the best approach for me is to wait the next beta 
release of dmd and try it then...

Thanks for the support!
