Humm. I'm still using the rdmd I had (it seems to work, so as long as I 
have already compiled it... ;)

However: I'm a bit baffled by the --shebang option. What's its purpose, 
really? If I use rdmd without it in a shebang line, it seems to work 
fine. If I *do* use --shebang, the code doesn't seem to be 
compiled/executed at all...

It seems like it interprets args[1] as a single string containing all 
the arguments, splitting it into separate items. That seems well an 
good -- except (in OS X, at least) it doesn't seem to be needed (I get 
my arguments just fine without it, and the shebang-line switches work 
well) ... and it doesn't seem to work (that is, with --shebang, nothing 
happens).

Any thoughts on this?
