I think someone mentioned that github supports some kind of wrapper 
projects/repositories. When you clone it, it will clone all the 
repositories it wraps. No need to figure out where to clone a given 
repository in your system. Then you can have a build script in the 
wrapper repository that builds everything and sets up a dmd.conf/sc.ini.
