digitalmars.D.announce - bcd.gen for Windows

After a ridiculous amount of hacking to get gccxml working, I've 
released a version of bcd.gen for Windows.  It's somewhat large (4MB), 
as it includes a full copy of the Windows headers and standard C++ 
headers (it would be possible but far from trivial to detect and use 
VC++ or DMC versions thereof).

It's only gone through preliminary testing, but all results have been 
positive thusfar.  If you want to test it or bind libraries on Windows, 
here's a link: 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/bcd/browser/downloads/bcdgen-win-99.zip?format=raw

It's been working on POSIX systems since the beginning: If you're on 
GNU/Linux or Mac OS X, get gccxml and check out bcd from source.

If this works, it may be about time for a release, in which case I'll 
make binaries for all platforms I'm capable of making binaries for, and 
release the whole shebang as 0.1.

Already a couple of bugs with the included headers have been fixed.  New
