Problem with rdmd

[eles]

Bah, what would be the meaning of accepting the shebang syntax 
then? SCripts are made to provide a quick way to hack: you edit 
it for 5 mins, you run it. You change a parameter inside, you run 
it. Otherwise, there would be no need for scripts, everything 
could be compiled, even if you fill everything with system() 
statements.
