* Shared library support: We added support for shared

Great, might be time to revive
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/617 soon.
Sounds like a good idea :-)
* New mechanism to link system dependencies: All system
libraries
needed by phobos (-ldl, -lrt, -latomic) are detected in the
phobos ./configure script. The required dependencies are
added to a
libgphobos.spec file and installed along with the
libgphobos.so/.a
libraries. GDC then reads this file to detect the required
libraries,
so the libraries are no longer hard coded in GDC. Note for
distribution packagers: You must make sure to manually
install this
file if you do not use the standard make install command.
Sounds interesting for dmd as well.
You could also use DMD.conf or some nice, custom file format. We
have to use the .spec format in GCC/GDC which is quite limited.
