D1 now compiles Phobos1 completely, and gets all the way to main() without 
crashing, and shuts down without crashing.

(Why D1 first? Because it's much simpler to port than D2's druntime/phobos.)

Very good news. Will it compile D2 as well by 2.061?

My goal for 2.061 is at least alpha quality D2 Win64 support.

Sorry if this was answered in a previous thread, but how does it work
with linking and object file formats?

Dmd Win64 uses MS-Coff and Microsoft's linker and VC's runtime libraries.

Are we going to get propper Dll support? I mean importing data symbols 
and a dll compatible c-runtime.

It'll probably work like Win32 DLLs.

Hm, a major showstopper for the current DLL support ist, that dmd does 
not generate code to correctly import data symbols.

Its a pretty old ticket,

Rainer Schulze implemented library code that patches the data symbol 
tables manually to get phobos to work as a DLL but the patch is quite old:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4071

Look at the dll_patchImportRelocations function in the druntime patch

Usually the compiler should generate code to get the correct import 
address for each data symbol if I understood it correctly.

Also there are a lot more issues with dlls,
you can't export certain symbols that are needed, for example the module 
info internal symbols. Rainer fixed this by adding a -exportall switch 
to dmd.

And of course there are the runtime issues with the TLS storage and 
Module (De)Initialization.

Since you just bought it, and the latest version seems to be 2012, I 
would guess on that one.

2012 is only on sale as of Sept 4th. However, I don't see why he would  
have needed to buy it. You can get the full 2012 compiler for free here:  
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9810160
If you need DirectX download the Windows SDK here:

If you kept your MSDN license up to date you should have 2012 Pro now too.

Not to disparage optlink (I haven't really had the problems some
people have had, at least not in a long time), but: Awesome :)
