Two thoughts:

 - "DMD" probably won't mean much to people not familiar with D, even
if they could probably guess that it is a D compiler from the context.

 - We should on decide what we officially declare as our home page.
I've been using http://wiki.dlang.org/LDC lately, as we could pretty
that up into an actually inviting landing page. Currently, it
admittedly isn't too welcoming yet, though…

Anyway, thanks for doing this!
