D For XCode 1.1b2

A couple of days ago, Michel Fortin announced an updated D for XCode. Mac users take notice:

* Improved code folding.

* Fixed a problem where a wrong linker command was issued under Xcode 3.1.

Known Issues:

* Nested comments and documentation comments are ignored by the syntax
highlighter in Xcode 3.

* Files with the .d extensions are given the "sourcecode.dtrace" type
instead of "sourcecode.d" while first added to a project. This is because
Xcode already has a rule associating .d files with dtrace which takes
precedence. You must open the info panel for your files and manually select
the "sourcecode.d" file type. This does not apply to Xcode 2.x.

* The debugger doesn't demangle function names. This can probably be fixed
by patching GDB.

* The debugger does not show very intelligently the content of objects.
