I think installing tangobos on top of tango is probably easier than 
figuring out how to set up the compiler to use Phobos.  So I have to 
agree.  If you have a working Tango setup and want to try Phobos, do it 
via Tangobos.  If you decide that you don't need tango, then just 
install the Phobos-only Zip that comes from digital mars.

But either way, I think the fsdev snapshots should include Tangobos.  I 
see no real reason not to.  Just gives folks more options in a pretty 
painless way.
