Looks as though as a release isn't happening any time soon...

By the way, if we're going to be supporting both Digital Mars' C runtime and Microsoft's C runtime, doesn't that mean that we're going to need version identifiers for them (e.g. DMC and MSVC)?

Same thought here. I think we should focus on getting a release with proper handling of C structs on x86_64 out soon. But maybe Walter wanted to just store away his current progress regarding COFF – the commit doesn't seem to actually add/change any functionality.

First it's great to see that some work is done on adding support for COFF. Second:

1. Why don't we have a release branch? Making things like this not an issue
2. I see no reason why Walter need to push his changes upstream (unless he wants to collaborate with someone)
3. Wouldn't this be a perfect case for creating a new branch upstream
