So is it feasible to hook up DMD's front end to this?  If not what's the problem?

I was wandering the same.

I'm sure it is.  Was going to try it myself, but I haven't had the time.

Just wondered that I haven't seen any posting on this.

This is Microsoft we're talking about though.  What's the catch?
Is it 'free-but-you-have-to-EULA-away-rights-to-your-firstborn' or something?

I'm not a liscence expert, but from my reading of the liscence for the RDK, it seems that it is for research only. If I'm understanding it right, that means that a compiler that is build or derived from the materials in the RDK cannot be distributed.

OT: the installation balked on me, without giving a reason :( typical MS!

I was thinking the same thing.  You need to sign up to download the SDK, so I declined to look into it.

True for the generated compiler. But I do not see any prohibition of distribution for the executables generated by the generated compiler and no prohibition to use the generated compiler after the license for the compiler generator phoenix expired.

RTFM: you need at least the C++ Express edition installed.
