GDC has not been officially updated in around a year.  What is in the trunk 
of the GDC source repository I believe is fairly up-to-date, somewhere 
nearer to 1.033 or 1.034.  But I have not had any experience installing a 
more up-to-date version of it as everything I've done has worked fine with 
0.24 (based on DMD 1.020).
