I said nothing more than:

make DMD=../../dmd/src/dmd DRUNTIME_PATH=../../druntime MODEL=64 -f posix.mak html

And got:
wine dmd -version=ddoc -d -c -o- ../docsrc/std.ddoc -I../../druntime/import
-Df../web/2.0/phobos/phobos.html phobos.d
make: wine: Command not found

I'll dig in to see why I got that and not something saner after I dig into why
the win32 dmd tests are failing.  I'm fairly sure it has to do with the replace
changes still not working right.

Later,
Brad
