My plan currently is to improve D for Xcode, make it work with DMD, 
create one or two project templates for D to display when you create a 
new project from Xcode, patch Apple's version of GDB to have better 
demangling support, and create an nice installer for all of this, 
ideally bundled with DMD 1 and 2 (if Walter permits). That should fix 
the install and toolchain problem on Mac OS X in a nice way. I plan to 
have this done by mid-August.
