LDC2 support for druntime

I have attached a patch which adds support for ldc2 to druntime. To build use
./build-ldc.sh in the src/ directory. I created a shell script for it as I find
the current make system is far too complicated, feel free to port it to use
make though. Note that ldc2 is still largely a work in progress. I have also
moved gc/basic/*.d to gc/basic/gc/*.d, purely because ldc plays nicer this way.
You will need to update the dmd make files to reflect this change.

What's the status of this issue, Sean?

The druntime source tree has changed to the point where it's no longer trivial
to integrate an additional compiler runtime.  I'll have to think about how to
add LDC2 support.

Yeah, I think gdc is also gradually approaching 2.020 where druntime was
introduced and will face the same problem.
They are currently upgrading to 2.016.

The correct approach may be to have a separate Druntime for each compiler. 
This is a bit less granular than the previous design where multiple compiler
runtimes could be plugged into the same SVN tree, but that design was a pain to
deal with from a maintenance perspective (though it's still functionally
feasible).  I don't really like that it would mean code merges for the GC and
core code however.  Suggestions welcome.

A separate runtime per compiler seems very wrong to me.

I can understand that the current code bases look fairly far apart due to the
length of time they've been allowed to drift, but really, shouldn't they be
very very similar for the vast majority of the code?

I recognize that ldc has introduced additional compiler emited function calls,
but there's no reason that those can't be included in druntime.

Couldn't those parts that are compiler-specific be held in their own subfolders
or whatever to keep it clean?

They were in their own folder, in fact, there was a 'compiler' folder with
subfolders for each compiler, but the structure was deemed unnecessarily
complicated when the only compiler supported was DMD.

For what it's worth, part of the problem is that the path to a module must
correspond to the package name.  This makes the SVN structure a lot more
complicated when there are two compiler runtimes that both have to live in
"rt.*", for example.

Why not just use the approach Tango uses?

Druntime used to, but it's a very complicated structure.  And even the Tango
runtime was intended to originally provide only a template.  The hope was that
compiler writers would eventually each maintain their own runtime, and it
doesn't really make sense that every compiler runtime would live in the same
SVN.

As of today, they are at 2.019.  (http://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/changesets/)
 Perhaps this should be up-prioritized because I assume it's going to be a
blocker of further progress.

I'm closing this at the patch is amazingly out of date. For an up-to-date
druntime for ldc, see: https://github.com/ldc-developers/druntime. More
information, including how to build can be found at
