D 2 target architectures

isn't clear to me how it uses SSE or AVX. But.. gotta give it a go.

I think std.parallelism will be more about thread-level parallelism rather than SIMD.

reliability or standards conformance? But.. I'll test how well GDC works with GCC
4.5 and 4.6.

dmd's backend isn't that advanced. But it provides a reference implementation of
the language whose frontend is reused in gdc and ldc.
