The instructions for building dmd and Phobos on OSX
(http://dlang.org/dmd-osx.html) say to use the makefile "osx.mak".  This file
doesn't exist anywhere.  Using "posix.mak" instead seems to work for Phobos.

In the dmd instructions, there are more problems.  The instructions currently
are:

cd ~/dmd2/src/dmd
make -f osx.mak

In the dmd source tree, src/dmd is an executable, not a directory.  Running
make -f posix.mak doesn't do anything.  There is an Xcode project in the top
level directory that does the make -f posix.mak and doesn't produce a binary.
