Tango compatability with Phobos

[Kris]

>From all the threads so far, this is what I've surmised:

For those people who need to run Tango-based and phobos-based code 
side-by-side, it appears to be fine that the higher-level elements are 
different. As long as the principal modules of both operate happily on some 
common runtime package, then it's cool.

Based on that assertion, we'll make some changes and get it working. If the 
assertion is not correct, then please say so ...
