Well, I recently tried to get C++ working on windows (Trying to 
learn it too along with D).

I can say that unless you use Visual Studio, it is a real pain to 
make any other environment working on it. I can't understand 
_why_ there are different implementations of the C++ standard 
library and they are not compatible with every compiler. It's 
like if LDC, GDC and DMD had their own standard library and 
"peace out".

It was really a terrible experience. Thankfully, D is really much 
simpler to get working (if we don't use Visual Studio).
