Use nmake instead of digital mars make? #3

Digital mars make no longer comes with the d compiler any more. Can this project be built using nmake only instead?

Edit: I can still build with this, but it is currently inconvenient as I have to copy the make.exe from digital mars c++ compiler.

This solution builds using the win64.mak files from druntime and phobos which only work with DM make. So I guess you will have to copy it from an older installation.

What could be possible, though, is to allow specifying the path to make.exe through an environment variable or searching it in PATH if it is not found in the dmd installation folder.
