Since several versions the configuration on Windows became 
"plug'n play".

Using DUB I still use --combined because of a bug that may have 
been fixed already.

A minor problem is that on Windows users expect both x86 and 
x86_64 builds so one has to juggle with the 2 LDC PATH to release 
both. I've said this thrice already and it's quite minor really.

Honestly since 1.0.0-b2 it's pure bliss and I've come to trust it 
very much.
