Sorry, inclusion of the new rdmd has not been done due to rdmd's 
dependency of the new phobos.

What would it do?

Yah, rdmd passed the buck to dmd. Previously rdmd also had a bug related 
to whitespace in options, which in turn was a quick fix to the gorram 
shebang issue, which I now fixed the proper way by adding --shebang.

Anyhoo, with what I have now the erroneous flag is properly reported. 
Per popular demand (from one person that is :o)), I made the Linux rdmd 
binary available for download from 
http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/~aalexand/d/rdmd.
