this isn't valid anymore:

	/**
	 * get the C version of command line in the format char**
	 */
	static char** getCommandLine(char[][] args)
	{		
		// Walter version from a post on the D news group
		char** argv = new char*[args.length];
		int i = 0;
		foreach (char[] p; args)
		{
			argv[i++] = cast(char*)p;
		}
		return argv;
	}

how to we do the
char** argv = new char*[args.length];
?
like:
&((new char*[args.length])[0]);
?

function object.printf (char*,...) does not match parameter types (char[])

but this is valid:

printf("Couldn't compile sources for ");//~name.toString()~"\n");

Well, I think it actually IS invalid. The string in your first example 
is not zero terminated! A string literal guaranteed to be zero 
terminated, but a char[] is not. This is a perfect example why [] -> * 
conversion was removed.

You're right, and it all makes sense.

Thank you, TK, Unknown and L.
