[dmd-internals] DMD bootstrapping version requirements

[Walter Bright via dmd-internals]

I'd like to upgrade to 2.073, as I need this switch:

   -mv=<package.module>=<filespec>  use <filespec> as source file for 
<package.module>

to begin converting the back end to D. Though I'm not sure which version it 
actually shipped in, it doesn't seem to be in the changelog.
