I would like to extend the DMD testsuite with a test for cv8 debug 
information. For that however I need a extarnal executable. Dia2Dump 
wich is part of the examples of visual studio. How is such a situation 
usually handeled? Is the binary stored prebuild somewhere? This test 
would only run on windows, so it would be feasable to brebuild the 
binary. Or is it required to be able to rebuild the external dependencies?

Kind Regards

Could you use objconv instead?  I'd much rather we depended on that, and 
hopefully it would open the doors for debug info tests on other platforms.

After trying around with objconv, it doesn't seem to give me what I 
need. I didn't manage to make it give me debug information at all. 
Dia2Dump directly reads a .pdb file, and gives me the info in the same 
way as the visual studio debugger sees it.

1. you'll need a license to redistribute any Microsoft binaries

2. you can use Digital Mars' "dumpobj" program which will pretty-print the CV8 
info in the .obj file. I used it to develop the CV8 code.
