I tried reverting on github but it failed because it conflicts with
later commits. :-(

You *could* just `git checkout fbc73d2d78e6b51ebb92aac1a602fbfc48888dde`
to get an older version of dlang.org that doesn't have that change; that
should temporarily make things work again until we figure out how to
clean up this mess.

(And btw, while troubleshooting this, I ran into a totally nasty
dependency problem in phobos/posix.mak where somehow it gets into a bad
state where it stops rebuilding .html files, and attempting to clean
those files will cause make to start aborting with "No rule to build
index.html needed by rule `html`" for no discernible reason. Talk about
non-reproducible builds... I hate make soooooo much right now. :-/  I've
yet to locate the cause of this problem, it's an unpleasant task trying
to wade through the layers of make macro hacks in posix.mak to figure
out what went wrong.)
