Why not directly distribute DRuntime as a source? or rather, 
simplify how it can be used as a source

``dmd -i`` does the magic already, it'll be able to pick what 
ever module on the fly

That's how i use my custom runtime, as source, makes things much 
smoother to use, however, in the case of druntime, it might 
highlight some compilation speed issues

What was the rational behind distributing the runtime as a 
compiled library?
