Excellent!  Thanks again for the quick work on this.

I have no problem creating some test cases however the D compiler module
is a bit complicated.  It supports two different compilers, and two
different standard library sets (which are incompatible with each
other).  I'm curious how automated testing might work.  Would there be a
machine that would get the D compilers loaded onto?

I could come up with a test example that will compile with both standard
libraries, and if both compilers were set up on the test machine, each
compiler could be set up to use a specific standard library.

I'm not sure how rigorous the tests should be, if it's enough to know
one compiler and one library passes a test this should be relatively
easy, but if every case needs to be covered this may require an overly
complex solution.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Tim.
