Once upon a time the suggested way of adding stuff
was to put it in the Wiki. So thus I put it there...

It's being linked to from the D Compiler "Comments":

Would be nice if there was a .tgz as well as .zip:
1) without the Windows stuff (smaller download)
2) with the correct line endings (UNIX vs. DOS)
3) with the correct permissions (bin: chmod +x)

But I prefer using packages myself, so I'm using RPM.
(it does require root priviledges to install/update)
It handles updates and requirements* more gracefully.
Walter is free to use any of these, on his DMD page.
