[dmd-internals] next release

[Jason House]

Replying on the list for which I'm subscribed...

It'd be nice to have D2 Phobos compile (but not run) with Walter's 64 bit dmd changes. I think he got D1 Phobos to do that. Since upcoming releases will have increasing support for 64 bit, this would be a good step in that direction.
