I'm using Visual Studio Community 2013 Version 12.031101.00 
Update 4 and Visual D 0.3.41 beta2.

Building with Visual D fails every time, with any project. Upon 
examining the log it seems an excessive '+' is added to the .lib 
or .obj file names in the linking step.

Here's the log of building the app wizard generated console 
project and another log of building the wizard generated windows 
project.

This is not the usual output from optlink, the linker used to build 
win32 applications.

I suspect link.exe is missing from 
C:\Users\fengli\Apps\dmd2\windows\bin. If you have renamed it (to avoid 
it replacing the MS linker on the command line), you should also adjust 
the appropriate entry in sc.ini in the same direcctory).
