LDC seemed to work for the author of the blog on windows after 
fixing a path issue. After a quick look in the LDC NG, it seems 
to be mostly(?) working.

It feels like GDC/LDC are fragmented from the main D community 
which isn't good due to an already not-so-large community. 
Outside of manually going to check their issue trackers it's hard 
to know what's going on with them.
