dmd.conf no longer working?

[Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d]

Hi folks, I'm having trouble setting up dmd on a fresh system. The short 
of it is nothing in dmd.conf seems to be taken into account. 
Furthermore, sections such as [Environment] are rejected with the error 
message:

Error: Use 'NAME=value' syntax, not '[ENVIRONMENT]'
What happened?


Thanks,

Andrei
