I'm not sure that we have an official policy on whether you should be using 
the latest HEAD of dmd or the last release, but the autotester _does_ use the 
latest git HEAD of dmd, and I believe that there _have_ been cases where the 
latest HEAD was required. Personally, I always use the latest HEAD.
