...And is it related to the fix of issue #2582 (Significantly Increased Compile Times For DWT)?

Have to ask Don, he did that!

書きました [kakimashita] -> "wrote"

It's the first time I see something in Japanese is longer than the English version.

Hell, I'm at a loss for words! Go, D!

I'll have to second that. Bug #2560 is still a blocker for me, too.

But other than that its really great step forward (this and the mac support in the prev. release of course). Maybe I can even find some time to look into some open bugs by myself, now that the sources are all available.

I uploaded new makefiles, should fix the problem.

That's a 3x speed improvement for those particular library functions, not dmd or the resulting code :P

I've noticed it seems to happen both ways. It's interesting how english words get translated into their katakana alphabet. I've seen that occasionally end up longer than the original spelling because of approximating certain sounds and sound combinations that they don't have. And then when that katakana gets written in our english/roman letters, it's roughly twice as long as the katakana. Its been far too long since I've studied it though, so I can't really think of a good example (probably something with a lot of consecutive consonants). I do love the language though (even though I understand very little of it).
