[phobos] Mac OS X unit tests failing

[David Nadlinger]

I am not sure why they were added in the first place (couldn't find 
anything during a quick look at the commit logs and mailing list 
archives), but the problem were some OS X special cases in the code, 
namely using stat64() instead of lstat64().

I opened pull request 160 
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/160) to fix that 
– if there was a reason I missed for not using lstat() on OS X or not 
running the other unit tests, please disregard it.
