With a codebase like phobos, compiling in several steps isn't a 
bad solution. But I am building a parser using pegged, and 
splitting up the grammar into different modules feels like a 
no-no. It's an option though.

Right now I run compile with gdc in a virtual machine. Still eats 
about 7 gigs.

The 64bit dmd would be nice. I waved the idea goodbye when I 
couldn't find a download link. Maybe need to look into it.
