I now David is still alive out there as we've exchanged an email or two 
and chatted a bit one evening.  But he's definitly been distant for a good 
while now due to life pressure not a real desire to be away from D.

I've spent a lot of time preparing a potential 0.18 release that's based 
off of dmd 0.148's frontend.  I've also fixed a few other bugs.  There's a 
couple bugs left to be fixed and a few merge related cleanups that need to 
be done.  I've sort of been holding on them until I can talk with David 
again.  He hasn't responded to the last couple emails I've sent.

What sort of patches do you have?  Can you create bugzilla entries for 
them if they're fixing bugs and add the patches as attachments?  Please be 
sure to break them down into one bugzilla entry and patch per issue and 
don't combine them into one.

In case you haven't seen the announcement on digitalmars.D.bugs, the 
bugzilla db lives here:  http://d.puremagic.com/bugzilla/

Thanks,
Brad
