[dmd-beta] dmd 1.059 and 2.044 beta

[Jason House]

Maybe I'm just cursed with getting gdb to work with D :(  I've tried the
plain vanilla gdb from my fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 as well as compiling
the latest gdb from source.  I believe the basic things I'm doing should
work with the plain vanilla gdb.

$ ls *.d hb/*.d hb/*/*.d | wc -l
16

$ dmd -gc -unittest -version=test *.d hb/*.d hb/*/*.d tango/core/Atomic.d
tango/core/Traits.d -ofhousebot-test
