[D-runtime] change 78, make files

[Sean Kelly]

The ones you emailed me a week or two ago.  I finally checked them in 
yesterday.

As for unit tests... that's kind of weird.  I think the correct thing is 
to not have either -release /or/ -debug set, since you don't want the 
debug blocks activated, nor do you want to lose asserts (or contracts, I 
suppose).  I struggled with this for druntime, and finally decided that 
the "debug" build would not set any flags, including debug, and the 
"release" build would set the release flag.  The idea being that the 
build should be used for someone to debug their own code, so debug 
blocks within the lib itself weren't appropriate, but debug symbols, 
contracts, etc, were.  However, I think I subsequently forgot about this 
decision and made the unittest build link the release lib.
