merge-2.069 now builds (and passes most of) the test suite

Hi all,

Thanks to Johan Engelen's awesome work, the first usable LDC version 
with a D-based frontend is inching closer and closer.

There is still much left to be done, as it is in the aftermath of every 
frontend merge. But I've fixed some of the most severe bugs, and the 
test suite runners are up and running now again:

The following tests FAILED:
         242 - std.math (Failed)
         243 - std.datetime (Failed)
         253 - std.zip (Failed)
         262 - std.string (Failed)
         267 - std.uni (Failed)
         321 - std.net.curl (SEGFAULT)
         329 - std.regex.internal.tests (SEGFAULT)
         603 - std.math-debug (Failed)
         604 - std.datetime-debug (Failed)
         614 - std.zip-debug (Failed)
         623 - std.string-debug (Failed)

         690 - std.regex.internal.tests-debug (SEGFAULT)
         732 - dmd-testsuite-debug (Failed)
         734 - dmd-testsuite (Failed)

The current state is available from the "merge-2.069" branch on 
ldc-developers/ldc. For now, you might want to use DMD to build the 
frontend parts still, as there appears to be a C++ ABI bug affecting it 
in LDC still.
