DMD on Haiku?

Hello D-folks!

I was just wondering if it would be possible to make DMD build 
out of the box for Haiku (haiku-os.org) with the source from the 
official DMD repo. Haiku is pretty darn POSIX compliant so the 
actual porting isn't much of a problem. DMD has ran on Haiku 
before a while ago and shouldn't have any problem doing it now. 
 From what I hear from the Haiku community it was just to add a 
bunch of ifeq Haiku and stuff to make it build and run fine.

What I want though is to get these things in to the main source 
of DMD, applying patches and stuff like that is a pain, it is so 
much better to just be able to clone and build without problems. 
So what I wanted to ask is: would Digital Mars accept a pull 
request to make DMD build on Haiku to their main branch on 
Github? I just wanted to know for sure before I go ahead and fork 
DMD to do this.

Cheers!
