I tried to compile this and I got these errors:

acvisitor.d(289): Error: no property 'name' for type 
'stdx.d.ast.AliasInitializer'
acvisitor.d(311): Error: no property 'name' for type 
'stdx.d.ast.AliasDeclaration'
acvisitor.d(322): Error: no property 'name' for type 
'stdx.d.ast.AliasDeclaration'

I tried this on Mac OS X, yes I know it's not supported but I wanted to 
try anyway.

A couple of comments:

* If DCD depends on DScanner, why don't you add it as a submodule?

* If you don't want to include DScanner as a submodule, you should at 
least have a link to it

* If you clone with "git clone --recursive" submodules are automatically 
cloned

* Actually, "git clone --recursive" won't work. I think it's because you 
haven't used the Git protocol when including message pack

* It should be mentioned how to build the project, i.e. build.sh

* Does this even build out of the box on Linux? If you just clone 
DScanner it will create a directory "DScanner", not "dscanner" which is 
required by the build script. This only happened to work on Mac OS X 
because the file system is case insensitive
