I don't think you understand the situation at all. There are 3 projects trying to accomplish 3 different things and all use a common front-end. LDC is D for LLVM (no exceptions in Windows), GDC is D for GCC, and Walter's company is about writing compilers so he uses his compiler and is taking extreme cation to not be sued.

Tango is not an example of a forked project/forked anything due to communication issues. http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?StandardLib
