[dmd-internals] generating pull requests for DMD

[Brad Roberts]

While I haven't developed d1 in ages, it's roughly how I experimented with it back in the day.  I actually don't
understand why you hate it so much or where you see complication.  What's "the correct place" mean to you?  It's all a
matter of the dmd.conf file, which is easy to setup to match any configuration.

Shrug.  I'm a huge fan of test in place _then_ install.  But do whatever works for you.  I'm not trying to impose
anything on anyone, just showing how I do it and how easy it is.
