Using the latest DMD and this snn.lib, i'm seeing it take about 11.5 
seconds to compile the algorithm unit tests (when i tried it last week, 
it was taking closer to 17 seconds).

For comparison, the MSVC build takes about 10 seconds on the same 
machine (Athlon 64X2 6000+).

Keep up the good work :-)
