I thought about integrating GDC into Ubuntu's, the same way GPC is now ?
But I was kinda put off by the sheer size of the package and scripts...
Same went for making it interact with the Fedora system GCC compiler,
which has like a ton of patches. So for now I only made "vanilla" GDC.

But if anyone wants to take it through the official channels, that would
be cool. Should be easier now, when it supports GCC 4.1.1 and x86_64 ?
