Yes, once everything has been moved into master the autotester will prevent 
changes that break ddmd from going in.  Most of the time that just means 
updating the config file when new top-level declarations are added, being 
careful with comment placement and being conservative with C++ features.

The next step is probably to get 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3970 in, and force 
everybody to get their host D toolchain configured.

That pull request converts idgen to D, so a D compiler is required to build 
dmd.  By default on posix it just invokes 'dmd', so many systems will just 
work.  Otherwise, which compiler to use can be specified by defining the 
HOST_DC environment variable or passing it to make (eg make -f win32.mak 
HOST_DC=... )
