Cmaked fails under windows due to dmd's OPTLINK

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Under Windows, OPTLINK (8.00.2) gets confused when an object file has a 
compound extension with than one '.' in the name, as in foo.d.o. For such 
files, OPTLINK reports "Error 2: File Not Found foo.d". Cmake always generates 
object files with a compound extension.

The D mailing list suggests waiting for a fix that will come with the rewrite 
of OPTLINK in C (was assembly).

CMake supports a mode without the double extensions and '.' names for objects.
Add SET(CMAKE_D_OUTPUT_EXTENSION_REPLACE TRUE)
to CMakeDInformation.cmake

This then will produce foo.obj from foo.d (for Windows), however I then hit 
another issue (the file doesn't appear to be produced) which I'm looking into.

Attached it a CMakeDInformation.cmake for windows DMD
This passes the D compile self check for NMake and will generate makefiles, 
however these won't pass the tests yet.
Also doesn't generate valid solutions yet, fails the self check.

Thanks Dean!  I asked about the extension problem on the CMake list, but never 
got an answer like yours.  Thanks also for the file, I'll have a look at it.

Hey
New CMakeDInformation.cmake and Windows-dmd.cmake
Basic app generation working with default (Debug) settings, lib generation not 
working yet (linker errors).
Passes tests 1,2,6,7 all those without using a library.

Also made Windows-dmd.cmake look like the linux version, for ease of diffing 
between the two.

Next stop libraries.

BTW made a clone of the repo, so easier for you to diff changes and import 
valid ones into main line branch as I get various things working :)

One of our few wiki pages has some setup tips for hg committers.  Let me know 
if it gives you any headaches.
