The primary hang-up is that both gdc and ldc need to be at 
version 2.067 so that they can be used to compile ddmd and so 
that we can be sure that having 2.067 as the base for ddmd is 
going to work with all three compilers (also, we want to release 
a ddmd binary built by gdc or ldc, not dmd, so that we can avoid 
a speed drop in the resulting binary). As I understand it LLVM 
has a blocker in LLVM which currently prevents them from 
updating. I don't know about gdc. But regardless, those are going 
to need to be taken care of first.
