What's blocking DDMD?

Nice timing, I was about to post a DDMD status message.

As of a few hours ago DDMD has gone green in the autotester on the main 
platforms.

https://auto-tester.puremagic.com/?projectid=10

Of the failing platforms:
OSX32: https://github.com/braddr/d-tester/pull/35 (OSX32 is crazy)
linux cross compilers: The tester machines currently have the wrong dmd host 
toolchain installed.
win64: Same sort of thing as the linux cross compilers

The autotester is showing a performance hit in the range of 25-50% slower. 
Memory consumption appears to have a less significant increase.

Also note that the autotester is only building ddmd in debug mode - the dmd 
I'm comparing it against was built in release mode with full optimizations.

As for what's left:
> Fix cross-compilers/osx32

And then do the same things again for the other two backends.

You can build it by following the instructions here: 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3410

If things go well I may release a DDMD zip that matches 2.066 for people to 
try out.
