I'd really love it if the Windows DMD distribution would include debug (with symbols) builds of druntime+phobos. At least for the COFF libs (32/64).
I often find myself wanting to step into phobos or druntime code while debugging, but the libs have no symbols!
Just put 'd' on the end of the filenames.

It might also need a command line arg to select which default library to use (parallel to the current crt options)?

The Visual D custom project type has the linker option to build a "private" version of the runtime with the options of the project, especially useful for creating a debug version. This is not available with the VC project system, though.

Is there a reason not to include one in the windows install bundle? It would complement the standard windows runtime library distribution.
