Largely because some of my issues with Phobos are fairly low-level, and 
I wanted to attempt building a "better" standard library from the ground 
up.  I've considered having Phobos run on top of Ares in a compatibility 
area, but as I don't actually use Phobos for anything it would be a lot 
of work for very little return.  Beginning with the next release I'll 
probably ship a pre-built Linux library just as I'm doing for Windows. 
It's really just a matter of automating the Linux build process a bit 
better--I have the whole process down to a single batch file on Windows.
