NOTE: it's on a new laptop; not sure whether build rules implicitly assume (maybe by error?) that something should be there beyond g++/clang/dmd but the error message i get isn't helpful.

1) already have a version of dmd installed (relatively new requirement)

yes (via homebrew; on a new laptop):

dmd --version

DMD64 D Compiler v2.067

2) have a working g++, whether of clang or gcc variety?

yes, I've built llvm from source, etc; both g++ and clang seem to work.

Yeah, it's this. Which page is this that needs updating?

I don't see the necessary info in http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD, but I might have missed it.
