script for configuring dmd to work with phobos and tango on linux

[Andrei Alexandrescu (See Website for Email)]

I previously sent a little script that configured the environment
variable DFLAGS, but then I figured that it's best to mess with the
config file directly. This way the advantage of different consoles with
different dmd configuration is lost, but then there is the advantage
that the configuration is persistent, which help certain modus operandi.
YMMV.

Paste the code below into a file e.g. dmdc, make it executable, and then
run either "dmdc phobos" or "dmdc tango". Adding more parameters after
that invokes the compiler, temporarily overriding the .conf file with
the requested environment; the old environment is then restored


HTH,
