at least for 64 bit Linux. Other platforms to follow.

This is what Andrei and I call "enabling" technology, as it opens the door for 
many more uses of D, in this case better interoperability with existing C++ 
codebases.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this, especially Elie, Iain, David and 
Andrei!

Also looking forward to getting this in GDC and LDC!

Andrei and I feel that better interoperability with C++ is a major strategic 
feature and advantage for D. As the recent thread with Manu's frustrations in 
doing it show, we still have a significant way to go. But I hope to push it 
forward hard in the next few months.

For the fearless who love working under the hood, extending the support to the 
rest of the platforms is a great way to materially contribute.
