Everything works fine, and I've no issues compiling with it, except for 
the fact that anything it compiles is over 1.2mb in size. I've tried 
with both vers of gcc and got the same behavior, both yield exes ranging 
  from 1.2mb - 1.5mb. It only seems to be gdc, gcc and g++ compile 
things just fine. Has anyone encountered this before?

for me , after stripping , I get 138KB application.  With debug info its
200K.

In fact just for fun heres a exe size comparison.  Check out C at a tiny
3KB!

D
Exe size: 199KB
Stripped : 138KB
==
import std.stdio;
int main () { writefln("C++ is ridicoulously complex"); return 0;}


C++
Exe size: 466KB
Stripped : 270KB
==
#include <iostream>
int main () { std::cout << "C++ is ridiculously complex"; return 0;}

C
Exe size: 9KB
Stripped: 3KB
==
#include "stdio.h"
int main () { printf("C++ is ridiculously complex"); return 0;}

Hmm, I'm using mingw gdc. Compiling without an specific switches yields 
this size. I've tried various optimization switches (-g0, -finline, 
-frelease, etc) thinking something was messed up and it would help 
reduce the size, but it doesn't do much.
