Namely structured exception handling.

I'd actually like to see a Phoenix compiler on Windows. Many Windows developers use MSVC, and being able to statically link to MSVC-generated code will help in migration of existing codebases to D (DMD uses the same object format as MS, but it won't link). It would also open the door to CLI support (shall we call it D.NET or D#?).
