We need either gdc 2.067 or ldc 2.067 released in order to

Note that this is a general problem, not limited to DDMD. We
should definitively tie GDC and LDC closer to DMD dev. It is
common for many to update to the latest version of DMD, usually
because one need bugfix, and sugger that 20% slowdown because
LDC and GDC are not ready.
Well, Daniel's big priority right now seems to be making it so
that dmd, gdc, and ldc can have _exactly_ the same frontend code
so that the updates required for gdc and ldc for new releases
will be relatively minimal. Once that's done, the process for
getting all of the backends ready for a new frontend release
should be much faster.
