[Issue 987] New: Add DMD compiler switch to prevent automatic linking to phobos.lib/libphobos.a

For what it's worth, I do think it makes sense for the compiler to
implicitly link a library expected to contain its runtime code. In
fact, Tango was even designed to support this configuration. It isn't
the default simply because it adds complexity but only benefits a small
portion of the community. The need for users to switch between
configurations is a valid concern however, so I can't say I disagree
with this request. If nothing else, it would occasionally be useful to
link a debug vs. a release version of the compiler runtime without
replacing the library file itself.
