Hi Iain/All,

Thanks for creating the dmd-cxx branch. I used it when porting 
dmd/druntime and phobos to DragonFlyBSD (see: 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/bsgxwztbentpvxggahzx@forum.dlang.org).

Is the dmd-cxx going to be available in the future as a starting 
point for other ports ? Are you / is anyone working on making it 
compatible with the current master branch (v2.077.x) ? Or is it 
ok to use a multi stage method (like i did) ?

I used v2.068.2 as the middle stage, instead of v2.072.2 to which 
you updated dmd-cxx, which i only noticed after i had finished 
the v2.068.2 version. Is it ok to depend on 2.68.2 instead of the 
version you chose ?

Regards,

Diederik
