Should we make DMD1.051 the recommended stable version?

Not saying "have to", but it was matching the GDC version I had:
svn co https://dgcc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dgcc/trunk/ gdc

Updating would mean getting the patches from the unofficial tree:
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/


But as long as it is working properly, I could do some installers
along with the build patches already needed for Vista and Leopard.

They would probably have been at DMD 1.020 - had it not been for
the issue with Tango not working with that version (i.e. GDC 0.24)
