Parallel Rogue-like benchmark

[logicchains]

Benchmark author here. I left the ldmd2 entry there to represent 
the performance of the D implementation from the time of the 
benchmark, to highlight that the current D implementation is much 
newer than the others, and that there have been no attempts to 
optimise the C and C++ versions similarly to how the latest D 
version was optimised. If you feel it creates needless confusion 
I can remove it, however, or put a note next to it stating the 
above.

I'm currently working on an OpenGL benchmark, and if anybody 
wants to improve the D implementation they're most welcome: 
https://github.com/logicchains/ParticleBench/blob/master/D.d. 
Currently it's just a straight port of the C version. Conciseness 
will be measured by the compressed source file size this time, 
rather than by the Github SLOC number. Note however that there 
seems to be little scope for improving the speed, as waiting for 
the GPU to render the scene is a significant bottleneck (for 
reference, the unoptimised racket implementation currently runs 
at around 50% of the speed of the -O3 C implementation, which 
obviously wouldn't be possible for something more cpu-bound).
