Looked into this further, I added a line to the post install to remove 
thread.di. However, when attempting to duplicate by installing 2.065 
first, and then 2.067 over the top, it appears that installing over an 
old version doesn't actually leave thread.di behind. I think possibly 
this happened because I got a new mac and copied the files from my old 
mac, but I don't think this would be a normal cause for concern.

I do still think a pre-install script of rm -rf /usr/share/dmd would be 
better. But I don't know if it's warranted.
