You previously said you will not add support for Tango (dsss net install
tango) because it breaks phobos. Wouldn't it be easier (for us users) to
have both. So that you can update them via 'dsss net install' and then
change to the correct library with something like 'dsss profile set
phobos/tango/tango-svn'. Or maybe 'dsss net install dmd' should only
update the binaries and 'dsss net install phobos' the rest of the
distribution. Then, a profile system for dmd/gdc would be cool too.
