The digital mars make is actually distributed with the c compiler.

Developing on Windows is such a complete pain e.g. setting it up 
so it can find the linker and cl. For that reason I currently 
just do all dmd/phobos/druntime hacking inside WSL because that 
way I can just press build (dmd has build.d which is 
cross-platform but druntime and phobos both aren't fun to build 
on windows unless you've done it recently)
