Unless something's changed recently, to build the website docs, you need both 
druntime and Phobos to be the latest from github (just like d-programming-
language.org) and to have them all in the same directory. Otherwise, it 
doesn't work. And personally, I'm always having to change the makefile so that 
it doesn't try and build previous versions of Phobos or it doesn't work. It's 
far too dependent on having a very specific setup on your box and probably 
should be fixed as part of the initiatize to better automize the release 
process. It's far too fragile as it is.
