It is rather trivial. The main annoying problems were the change from unsigned long => 64 bits wide, and the size/alignment of long doubles changed. The former means there is no longer a 32 bit integer type portable from 16=>32=>64. Bleh, although I don't foresee ever rebuilding the compiler as a 16 bit host.

While a great step.. don't misinterpret that to mean that dmd is generating 64 bit applications, just that dmd itself can be compiled by a c++ compiler as a 64 bit app. (at least based on my cursory glance through the changes)
