Actually, what I meant was this: DDMD is currently based on DMD 2.040. Ie, 
ATM, it's DMD 2.040 ported to D. You said you were trying to use the 2.053 
backend with DDMD, so I was just wondering if you were also updating DDMD 
frontend to be a D port of something newer than 2.040.

That does sounds cool, too :)
