I've finally finished cleaning up MinTL for dmd-102. Since this version is a
good cutting point I'm calling it MinTL 2.0

new stuff: 
- deque
- circular linked lists (double and single): CList and CSList
- more concurrent containers: ConcurrentQueue, ConcurrentStack, DualQueue,
DualStack, LinkedQueue, ConcurrentPriorityQueue, ConcurrentAA
- added Exchanger and better doc to Locks library

more use of mixins for code reuse. Also replaced assembly files in Locks
with inline assembly.

I still get wierd linking errors (eg - sometimes I get typeinfos not found
on win32) and/or seg-v's depending on various compiler flags (eg - if I
specify -O then I need to insert some printfs in various places to prevent
a seg-v presumably because of an optimization bug) but it seems to
basically work.

have fun!

 I still get wierd linking errors (eg - sometimes I get typeinfos not found

I'm trying to narrow these bugs down and it looks like the one about
TypeInfo's not being found (with -g or -unittest) goes away if the file
mintl/share.d the function add is changed from

  void add(...) {
    va_list argptr = cast(va_list)_argptr;
    for (int k=0;k<_arguments.length;k++) {
      if (_arguments[k] is typeid(Value)) {
  etc

to

  void add(...) {
    va_list argptr = cast(va_list)_argptr;
    for (int k=0;k<_arguments.length;k++) {
      TypeInfo ti = typeid(Value);
      if (_arguments[k] is ti) {

I have no idea why explicitly making a variable for the TypeInfo makes the
compiler happy. I'm trying to get smaller reproduction steps but my basic
tests end up passing. So.. if you get missing TypeInfo's try that trick.
