Oh. That's so much nicer on my SSD ;-)

(yes, I understand the implictions here of dynamic sharing, but I 
test/compile/debug so much, that I'd like to limit the impact on 
my SSD drive.

But I can't do this with dmd ?? it has not such option ??

On Linux dmd can do `-defaultlib=libphobos2.so` for the same 
thing.

On Windows, dmd cannot handle a shared druntime.

yes. but why?

  - is it technically too difficult? (ldc seems to have overcome 
that, if that's true)

Uhm... are you SURE this is actually nicer on your SSD?  For all you
know, it could be writing the 806KB first and then optimizing that
in-place to reduce it to 18KB...  Just because the final file size is
small doesn't mean there aren't any large intermediate files.

no. there are no intermediary files. just this, and only this:

145 EZ_Compiler_tmpfile.d
15,360 EZ_Compiler_tmpfile.exe
18,384 EZ_Compiler_tmpfile.obj
