Your link points to GDC sources, but I wrote about DMD sources. GDC is 
different compiler, with additional modifications necessary to work with 
gcc. What's more svn repository of DMD sources should be rather 
accessible from DMD page not from other places...

Source should be available because it's easier to track changes, check 
out one specific revision of compiler and prepare patches.

I think also that it makes much better impression about openess of 
compiler development and rises quality of code. It gives also some sort 
of security, as open projects with many contributors are more likely to 
survive in longer term...

Of course I am not expecting that Walter will put there sources for 
programs which are currently closed...
