The original upstream (i.e. "dgcc") used tarballs,
much in the same way that DigitalMars uses zipfile:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dgcc/files/
gdc-0.24-mingw32-gcc-3.4.5.tar.bz2 (gdcwin)
gdc-0.24-i686-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.2.tar.bz2
gdc-0.24-powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.2.tar.bz2
gdc-0.24-macosx-universal-gcc-5363.tar.bz2 (gdcmac)
gdc-0.24-i386-freebsd-gcc-3.4.6.tar.bz2
Making exe/rpm/pkg installers from those was easy,
when compared with having to build gcc from source.
Not that it is terribly complex either, but it does
take a lot of time and space compared to the binary:
http://dgcc.sourceforge.net/gdc/install.html
http://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/wiki/Home
It seemed to be missing the instructions for Windows
and for Mac OS X, those are similar but not identical:
http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net/gcc-3.4.5-build.sh
http://gdcmac.sourceforge.net/gcc-5363-README.Apple
Probably needs to be updated for gcc-4.3.0-20080502+
and gcc_42-5564+ but it should be about the same...
