Hi,
while browsing the sources of gdc, ldc and dmd I noticed that gdc and ldc
both include the verbatim frontend source code from dmd.
Wouldn't it make sense to split the free dmd frontend into a standalone
project that could then easier be referenced also by gdc and ldc?
I'm also asking because I was surprised that debian also contains (a very
old version of) ldc[1]. If one day we'd have proper d packages in Debian, it
would surely be nice to have only one d frontend package instead of three
times the same source code in different packages.
