Several hours ago, Walter merged my DDMD branch into master. This means
that an additional 'ddmd' target is available in the makefiles, and the
autotester will check that it builds.
The make target converts the C++ frontend source to D, and then compiles
with the host dmd. The converter is included in the DMD repo for now.
If you are a DMD developer, pull requests may need to be updated to
modify the converter's configuration file, or to replace problematic
code that cannot be converted. Details can be found here:

For everyone else, please test the generated ddmd binary with your
projects and report any correctness or performance problems you
encounter. I'm also interested in feedback on the quality of the
generated D source.
When we are satisfied with the quality of the D version, we will switch
over all development to it and delete the C++ source. If we're lucky
this will happen before the 2.068 release.
Thanks to everybody who has helped with DDMD over the last two years.
This is great news, awesome :)
