[dmd-beta] dmd 2.053 beta

[Don Clugston]

The failing case mentioned in my last pull request is
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5972
It used to fail with an "index assignment is not supported in CTFE";
now it fails with
"CTFE internal error" (but gives line number).

There are three options, all of which are reasonable IMHO:
(1) ship as-is
(2) change the error message (interpret.c, around line 2884)
(3) fix the bug so that the code works.

I am working on (3), but it's a little bit complicated. If the other
things (especially the druntime issues) take a while to fix, then (3)
will be an option, but I don't think it's worth delaying the release
for (it isn't a regression, though it will probably be mistaken for
one).

Also, in the changelog, I think it would be good to separate the
optlink bugs from the dmd bugs, since there are so many of them this
time. They are all at the top of the list of DMD bugs.
