This is why the -v1 switch was added to DMD. It's supposed to preserve 
backwards-compatibility to DMD v1.00.
The idea is that you can update the compiler to the newest version 
without losing the ability to compile programs that were legal for DMD 
v1.00.
So then 'dmd' would be your devel, and 'dmd -v1' the stable.
