[dmd-internals] dmd commit, revision 632

[Brad Roberts]

Rewriting do_test.sh into a d app instead of bash would help, but it'd 
still leave a gap for the hand full of tests that use a post-test script 
to do more validations than just 'it built' or 'it ran'.

Every one of those is easily available in cygwin.

The other key changes I didn't mention below is the obvious stuff like 
abstracting .o into $(OBJ) or something similar to hide the .o vs .obj 
difference between platforms, and other similar file name deltas.
