Fair enough. I've followed the instructions here:

I suggest to just modify phobos sources directly. It's DVCS after all
so you
always have a luxury of commit/revert.
I want to do some side-by-side tests of current and new, so it makes
sense to just have a myrandom.d.
and rdmd --main -unittest /path/to/std/random.d
works wonders in development cycle.
Oddly enough building rdmd with my newly-build dmd results in error:
Just feed it -d switch ;)
Still somebody has to step up and upgrade rdmd to use the new way of Phobos.
