Takes 31 seconds on my linux box.. roughly the same.  There are several tests
that are much closer to phobos or druntime tests than dmd tests.  I'm sure they
are ancient and predate the meaningful separation of the three.  But it's also,
generally, not worth quibbling about where exactly they live, still take time to
execute no matter where they are and they probably shouldn't just go away.  But
I could be convinced otherwise without too much trouble. :)

Rainer, would you be in a good position to time both cygwin and msys on similar
hardware?  I don't have the latter installed anywhere.

Later,
Brad
