Hi all,
  I just added information about which D compiler was used to 
build LDC to `ldc2 --version`. I think it is important 
information, at least for now when there may be some hidden 
differences/bugs between different D compilers.

It looks like this now:
❯ bin/ldc2 --version
LDC - the LLVM D compiler (febfca):
   based on DMD v2.069.2 and LLVM 3.9.0svn-r263048
   built with DMD64 D Compiler v2.070.2
   Default target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.3.0
   Host CPU: haswell
   http://dlang.org - http://wiki.dlang.org/LDC

cheers,
   Johan

Btw, the colon at the end of our first stdout line is a little 
annoying in pretty printing/parsing the output of `ldc2 
--version`. In the CMake script, I use a regexp to match to the 
first outputted line, stopping the match on the first \r, \n, or 
":". The colon in the regexp is added for LDC's output.

I vote for removing the colon from the --version output.

though. This way, we all immediately see that there's something 
new, no forum post required, and it usually also gets reviewed. ;)
