I just want to say, as I have only worked in D for ~6 months the 
usage of Optilink is a real pain.
Couple of days ago I took a strong look at removing 64bit only 
code from Coff support and allowing it to compile 32bit.
I failed yes.
But I definitely will take another look into this.
Hopefully learn wayy more of how it works!
