I had some tries. LLD link is very fast in my applications. It 
feels even noticeable faster than OPTLINK.

But also I facing some maturity issues.

- While trying to run dub test in combination with dependency 
d-unit and a module command.d containing an std.datetime import 
there is always an linker error:
Native PDB Error: The entry already exists.  The specified module 
already exists
I have a reduced test case (dustmite is great!) and will file an 
issue

- From time to time there is a spurious linker error:
Error: module `NOLOGO` is in file '\NOLOGO.d' which cannot be read
I don't know how to reproduce this error but it disappears on 
next try.

Kind regards
André
