OK, D Frontend is merged.  Phobos and Druntime are yet to be updated, so
subsequently it doesn't yet build the library yet.

TODO:
- Add compiler support for new cent/ucent types.
- Test CTFE feature for doing reinterpret casts between int <-> float.
Should work, but untested.
- Phobos / D runtime merge, obviously...
- Once above done, blast through re-implementation of toDt, toObjFile
routines that removes all dependencies on DMD backend.
- Breathe and sigh.
