Four things about rdmd build 20100913 (the one present in DMD 2.052). I am not
sure Bugzilla is the right place for this.

-------------------

1) If I give rdmd the name of a file that's not D code, I don't receive any
error:

rdmd foo.exe

-------------------

2) This line of the rdmd help contains a char that's not normally visible in
the Windows shell:

  --eval=code       evaluate code +á la perl -e (multiple --eval allowed)

I suggest to replace it with something like:

  --eval=code       evaluate code as in perl -e (multiple --eval allowed)

-------------------

3) If I compile and run a normal little D program (here just a HelloWorld),
sometimes it asks me to hit enter after the program run, and sometimes it
doesn't require it:

C:\>rdmd hello.d
HelloWorld!

C:\>rdmd hello.d

C:\>HelloWorld!

-------------------

4) Sometimes rdmd leaves in the directory a map file like:

hello-d-C8F5A6BF039D650FD686DCFB9B208F94.map
