Along the same lines as pragma(lib,...) I'm wondering if it would make sense to
add something like pragma(switch,...) also, e.g.:

pragma(switch,"-version=MY_VERSION");
version(Windows)
{
pragma(switch,"-L/SUBSYSTEM:windows:5");
}

That would act like the command-line:

C:\>dmd foo.d bar.d version=MY_VERSION -L/SUBSYSTEM:windows:5

You can do this sort of thing with Build.

version(build) {
    pragma(export_version, MY_VERSION);
    version(Windows) {
        pragma (build_def, "EXETYPE NT");
        pragma (build_def, "SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS,4.0")
    }
}

Though the Windows subsystem is normally handled automatically but the pragma allows you to override the standard values.

Because there is to only dmd compiler, and there are different switches for different compilers.

version(DigitalMars) {
	pragma(switch,..);
	version(...) {
		pragma(..);
	}
}

Good enough, I guess.
