For a while I got a lot of grief for the dmd test suite defaulting to looking

hasn't worked ever (unless the dmd
binary was in the test directory, which I doubt anyone does).
I've been meaning to fix the DMD=dmd case for a long time. While doing that,
if there's a sufficiently large population
that would rather make DMD=dmd be the default behavior rather than ../src, I'll
go ahead and do that. I'll change my
habits and scripts to cope.
Thoughts?
I think the current behavior is inconvenient, but is also the correct setup.
We wouldn't want the tester to use DMD from the user's path by default. That
should be an explicit override. It's simple enough to make this an alias or
whatever anyway if the typing is annoying.
I often use makefiles that exist solely to override explicit paths in another
makefile that it forwards the commands to. I find that more convenient than
resetting global paths.
