Lix 0.9.16

I like to build Lix with DMD, the reference compiler. It has the newest bugfixes, but also allows newer D constructs that are not yet allowed in GDC or LDC.

In the next months, I should look into building Lix with GDC or LDC. Maybe it's easy to compile with them, maybe it's hard. If Lix is easy to adapt to them, I should do it.

On Debian, their GDC package sits in the default repositories and is easier to fetch than the DMD package (must register separate repository on the Debian installation).

The LDC build should pass without warnings on Arch and Debian, and likely on Windows.

I haven't looked into GDC yet.

Closing this: I do not support building with GDC.

Reason: Very often, GDC is based on outdated DMD versions that do not support D features required by Lix or Lix's dependencies. I support builds with DMD and LDC.
