I do mach.d - https://github.com/pineapplemachine/mach.d

I've been setting up CI tests and OSX and Linux tests are good to 
go thanks to Travis. I'm having a little more difficulty with 
testing on Windows via AppVeyor, since DMD is too memory-hungry 
to `dub test` without a fatal error when DMD was compiled for a 
32-bit target as opposed to 64-bit, as is the case for all 
Windows releases.

How can I compile and run unit tests for only a part of the 
library at a time, so that 32-bit Windows can run tests too? 
(Which is actually important, since there are different x86 and 
x86-64 implementations of some library functions.) Or is there 
another solution? It's my understanding that phobos would have a 
similar problem if it didn't do something deliberate with how 
tests are run.

around somewhere for how to install 64-bit DMD? Since I would 
ideally like to automate testing with both 32-bit and 64-bit DMD

If there was a 64-bit DMD for Windows (not available AFAIK), 
you'd simply compile with `-m32` or `-m32mscoff`.

Definitely; there are various Phobos modules requiring more than 
2 GB of memory when compiled with `-unittest` (at least when 
emitting 64-bit code). That's why they are compiled separately; I 
once tried compiling all of them at once, and that took something 
like 30 GB IIRC. ;)
