Hello and apologies for long absence.

The src/dmd directory now contains msys_dmd.mak to build and
test the metalanguage bootstrap using the Digital Mars dmd
compiler in and mingw/msys environment (tested under wine).

One function in element.d caused problems with the
gdc-0.24-gcc-3.4.5 in the mingw/msys environment. But there
are still linker problems building in that environment.

I find by googling that others have had similar problems with the standard
make and configure under mingw/msys - a missing utility cygpath is part
of the problem, but a crude fix on that left me with linker errors as
reported by Josh Scholar.

The obsolete notation "the" for variable reference has been
removed from the metalanguage.

I'll try to deal with other questions tomorrow.

Peri
