I am completely with you, Manu.
Same with me with GDC under Windows. Missing libiconv-2.dll...
The same happened to me when looking around for the other two D 
compilers. It took me a couple of days until I found the link on 
the dlang.org's download page.

Any suggestions on where to get a working copy of GDC to run on 
Windows, please?

Thanks,
