any chance of some release builds on github when the time is 
right?  I've tried a few times, and somewhat embarrassingly each 
time I get a bit further, but still never made it to a usable 
version of ldc-calypso.  I didn't want to file bug report as 
figure you have better things to do at this stage and it's a 
moving target. ldc itself I can compile fine (without your mods).

I'd be interested in seeing if quantlib is usable.  it's a 
library that's quite popular in finance world, and might open up 
the set of people that are interested in exploring D.
