If Tango requires DMD 1.004+, I think it should say so on the relevant 
web page(s), such as one or more of these:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/Download
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/TopicBuildingTango
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/TopicInstallTango

If it's already mentioned in bunch of other places, I'm sorry I missed them.
