I like what LLVMDC is doing but I don't think using the DMDFE in *yet 
another* compiler is the best idea.  It's time that D had a bootstrapped 
compiler and that the DMDFE had some competition.

As for "dyld" I think you're thinking of Dil.  I was trying to help with Dil 
but with all the other projects and real-life responsibilities, I just don't 
have the time.
