Im trying to get MSVC to debug my binary. I've added...

"dflags": ["-g"],

at the top level in dub.json to try and get LDC to generate debug 
info. But doesnt seem to have done anything.

I guess you need `-g` for the `lflags` too, assuming dub uses LDC 
for linking.

My bad, I didn't read the output properly, the debugger couldn't 
find the debug info for all the system dlls but had found it for 
my program. There's a box you tick in MSVC options to get it to 
download debug info for the system dlls, worked ok after that. 
That said it doesn't work very well.
