All set, the path is maintained now and the redirect is a 301 rather than 
302.  Also, both www.d-p-l.org and just d-p-l.org for those that are 
alergic to typing www both redirect to www.d-programming-language.org.  
It's still recommended that any links go directly to the long name, if for 
no other reason than one less thing that can fail and it's just that much 
faster.
