Get ctags-5.6 source, unarchive it.

[nmt at nmt-pc build]$ cd ctags-5.6/
[nmt at nmt-pc ctags-5.6]$ patch -p6 < ~/svn/ctags-5.6-d.patch
patching file c.c
patching file parsers.h
[nmt at nmt-pc ctags-5.6]$

the -p6 is because you want to prune all this from the
paths: /m/home/rubikitch/compile/tmp/ctags-5.6/

the ~/svn/ bit is where I downloaded the patch file.

Then just run 'make'. And hopefully that'll build a D-capable ctags ;-)

HTH,
