New port for ldc2

[P Padil]

yes but requires a bootstrap from an older compiler. Would have to go bck to the first compiler that can be build from C, all recent versions require a previous ldc or gdc version. I can try to do the bootstrap, although not sure I have seen documentation for that either.

It is a binary distributed in a tar.xz file which has the bin, lib, etc, imports directories in the tar and, I would have though, would be easy to link to the appropriate installion dirs.  However I cannot find anything as to how to do this in a Portfile.  Any pointers/help appreciated.
