Make a .d file in a foo directory, then run:

$ dmd foo/test.d
ok

$ dmd foo/test.d -offoo/main.exe
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 8.00.12

DMD should try to normalize the -of path by changing forward slashes to backslashes since Optlink reserves forward slashes for flags.

Guys is this safe to implement this way?:

mars.c:
void toWinPath(char* src)
{
    if (src != NULL)
    {
        while (*src != '\0')
        {
            if (*src == '/')
                *src = '\\';

            src++;
        }
    }
}

                    case 'f':
                        if (!p[3])
                            goto Lnoarg;
#if TARGET_WINDOS
                        toWinPath(p + 3);
#endif

It works in simple cases but I'm worried about any Unicode issues and of course UNC paths and whatnot. Is there any standard WinAPI/DMC API function that normalizes the path (converts '/' to '\')?
