Allocating Executable Memory

The GC supports flags to define memory as movable or immovable,
but I think at the moment it performs no memory movements.

DMD has a back-end that produces less efficient binaries compared
to GDC and LDC. But DMD is more up to date (but not a lot), and
it's the most supported, it's the reference implementation. DMD
works well on Windows too, GDC works on Windows too. I think LDC
doesn't work well on Windows.
