The sizes of Phobos binaries increased by a third for every OS 
except FreeBSD, which seems to have remained the same (created 17 
Feb 2013).  Aside from the FreeBSD case which is most likely a 
bug, is that an expected increase, or they are just compiled with 
some extra options for the beta, and will shrink again when the 
release comes?
