As a mainly-windows person who just knows enough *nix to get by and to 
maintain ports of their own software, this is great stuff to know! Some of 
it I was already aware of, but there was a lot I didn't. So much of that is 
the kind of information that can be very difficult for a *nix non-expert (to 
say nothing of novices) to find, or even think to look for. Consider your 
post much appreciated :)

Looking forward to a wiki4d version. And I'll be making sure to check 
through my d tools/libs for any such misuses. Next time I do linux builds of 
my Goldie and SemiTwistDTools projects (I normally do most of my dev on Win, 
so the linux bnaries get old, and I may occasionally break linux without 
knowing), I just may take you up on that offer to do a FreeBSD check on it.
