Self-hosting D compiler -- Coming Real Soon Now(tm)

[Thiez via Digitalmars-d]

With regard to the whole self-hosting thing, perhaps it is worth 
copying the way Rust handles this:

So in order to build one would usually download a binary compiler 
and use it to bootstrap, but in theory one can take the last 
version of the compiler before it became self-hosting, and build 
all the way to the current version (but it would take a long 
time).
