It looks to me that this patch does two things:

1) -betterC now implies -defaultlib=
2) -betterC omits the call to _d_dso_registry


And I see a previous patch is also in there that uses C's 
`assert` instead of D's with -betterC. (frankly, I like the C one 
better anyway!)


So these are baby steps toward making -betterC actually useful, 
but just baby steps.

To all, I'd hold off on posting this to external forums until 
more of the open bugzilla issues are changed (I saw Walter 
tagging them earlier today, so I know they are on his radar).

Importantly, at a minimum, structs need to just work with 
`-betterC` before I'd announce it to the outside world. Once that 
happens, then I think we have something to talk about.... so 
getting closer, but not quite to the point where I'm excited yet.
