[dmd-beta] Do a new release?

[Brad Roberts]

Timing releases based on the 64 bit work is premature still.  So, I'd say 
go for it... with one reservation.

Have the os/x issue been resolved yet?

Ok two.. it'd be nice to get the bug fixes that are blocking the 
integration of std.process fixed as well.  I think there's patches 
included for them, right?  (I don't have the bug numbers in front of me 
right now, but I'll bet someone else does and will chime in shortly).

Later,
Brad
