Just a thought: DVM is already set up to handle managing multiple versions
of DMD. And I don't think it's a stretch to figure that support for GDC and
LDC would be natural extensions at some point, plus some dmd.conf/sc.ini
management functionality (which would be needed for installing D libraries).
So maybe DVM could be expanded to handle arbitrary D packages as well?
