IIRC, Walter wanted that file to always be named dmd.zip or 
dmd2.zip or whatever, in order to allow a permanent download 
link, while guaranteeing the file to be the latest version of the 
tool.

In this case, I think the best compromise is simply to have the 
latest version download-able either as dmd2.zip and as 
dmd2.<version>.zip.
