Yeah, it's quite a bit better than the integrated analyzer. Plus, Alexander is constantly improving it while I'm busy with other stuff. I'll think about making it the default in the next release.

Rename it to README.md and you can use Github markdown to have a nicely formatted readme.

I have converted the documentation to DDoc. Here's the result: http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

Looks sweet! Btw, I suggest making that picture in the lower-right clickable so you can zoom in to get the full resolution picture.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but I have to comment on the following section:

```
Library search path not passed to linker

Even though Visual D allows to set a library search path, this does not work with the default installation of DMD. Optlink, the linker used by DMD, only accepts the path in the LIB environment variable.. ```

Doesn't the -L+ switch work for you? I've documented it here: http://wiki.dlang.org/Compiling_and_linking_with_DMD_on_Windows#Passing_search_directories_for_static_library_files_to_Optlink

Yeah, I also wanted to click it ;-) Will do.

-L+libpath\ does not work if you also want to pass resource or def file. -L always appends the arguments to the end of the command line, but the library paths must be added before the ',' that separates libraries and resource file.

Actually, that paragraph is out of date, because Visual D can now call optlink separately and will do this if you have specified additional library paths.

Nice! Looks great.
