Awesome!  Two things, though:

1.  When will this actually happen?  Is GCC 4.7 going to have GDC in it?

2.  How will the impedance mismatch between DMD Front End's fast release 
cycle and GCC's slower release cycle be handled?  I'm definitely not 
going to use the "official" version of GDC packaged with my Linux distro 
or MinGW or whatever when the front end is several versions out of date 
and each front end update contains major bug fixes and additions to Phobos.
