I see it's been added :-)

Are there any extra flags that need to be added to dmd.conf for this to work
successfully?  On my system I find that the shared library is not found when
running programs built against it:

   error while loading shared libraries: libphobos2so.so: cannot load shared
object file: no such file or directory

I can get round this by exporting /opt/dmd/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH but if I
recall right, this is a frowned-upon way of identifying where shared libraries
are to be found ...
