There are the cases when i have to use visual studio compiler that
generates coff object files. For example, CUDA compiler now support
only vc cl compiler. That's why i have to refuse D, because there
are not any correct converter omf -> coff or native support of
coff in dmd. But i like D very much. This is the issue, what about
it?

Afaik the GNU D compiler will generate COFF on Windows. But that 
probably still won't be 100% compatible to Microsofts COFF.

There is Digital Mars's COFF2OMF, but it's not free (although it is 
inexpensine, IIRC):

http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/coff2omf.html

Also, there's a linker called UniLink (or ulink?) that will link DMD's OMF 
files with MS's COFF. I don't have a link for that handy though.

That would be it, look for the latest ulnb0xxx.zip:
ftp://ftp.styx.cabel.net/pub/UniLink/
However recently some folks had trouble linking gtkD library with it.
