Yes, that's the right link.

Text: maybe change

There are currently two implementations, the Digital Mars DMD package for 
Win32 and x86 Linux, and the GCC D Compiler package for several platforms, 
including Windows and Mac OS X.

to

There are currently three implementations: Digital Mars DMD (D version 1 and 
2), the LLVM D Compiler (D version 1 only) and the GCC D Compiler (D 1.030 
and 2.014 only).


This is a controversial change as the front page doesn't mention the D1/D2 
split at the moment. I felt it reasonable to mention the frontend versions 
of GDC since they're one year old and it doesn't change often.

I dropped the platform listing for each compiler as DMD now supports Win32, 
x86 Linux, x86 Mac OSX and x86 FreeBSD, and spelling it out made the text 
hard to read.

Also add 'LDC D Compiler' to the 'Tools' section of the navigation bar and 
to the download page. As we only have binary packages for x86-32 and x86-64, 
please only list these two platforms as 'supported by LDC'.
