[phobos] std.process on github

[Steve Schveighoffer]

Aside from the fact that I've never used or understood git, anything is probably better than using subversion 1.4 which has zero merging support :)

I just created a github account, and the username is ..... schveiguy (I know, very surprising).  Please add me as a contributor to phobos and druntime.

Man I hate it when web sites require you to use certain characters in passwords...
