So, does this now mean that Phobos, GPhobos, and Ares should be merged ?

As in, splitting the Phobos library up - into the 3 Ares subcomponents:
* the runtime library (phobos.lib)
**  the DMD compiler runtime (dmdrt.lib)
**  the DMD garbage collector (dmdgc.lib)
**  the standard library (ares.lib)

I guess we have a few items to sort out then, like: linux/Unix/Posix,
and what the module hierarchy should look like and other similar things.
(but better support for posix and win32 headers would be a good change)

Or did you just mean it as in "it's OK that theirs is higher quality" ?
