What I was trying to say is that if somebody not familiar with the DMD 
backend wanted to use OS X shared libraries, I'd point them towards LDC 
right now. After it works there, the same code can be used for DMD too 
(it's strictly more work to implement it there because of the TLS 
implementation). And to get it to work on LDC, the non-ELF-specific 
parts of the Linux/FreeBSD implementation can be reused.
