I take from this that you plan on dumping OMF support on DMD for Windows
and generate ELF .obj on both platforms. Right?

I haven't seen any linker / librarian on windows that support ELF.
Also, I think this change will adversely affect DDL
(http://dsource.org/projects/ddl/) since it loads the .obj files and
links them directly into the application.
