Have you thought about creating a `dtools` package with rdmd, 
dustmite, and ddemangle in it?
They are useful for LDC and GDC too, perhaps people would like to 
be able to install them without needing to install DMD.  (Perhaps 
the DMD/LDC/GDC package can automatically install such a "dtools" 
package?)
