The project was redirected to implementing precise scanning for the GC 
using RTInfo. That feature was brand new at the time, so they had to 
fight an awful lot of bugs in dmd, though.

My implementation of the precise GC was based on Antti-Ville's work 
(https://github.com/Tuna-Fish/druntime/tree/gc_poolwise_bitmap), but not 
a lot of code has remained from the original source.
