Setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=12 allows dub to work with dmd.  
It's when I don't have it set, or set to 13 that I get those 
linker errors.  Maybe this would have been obvious to a C or C++ 
developer, but I do all my professional development on scala and 
python, and c# before that.  I now have 2 working D compilers, 
thank you for your help.
