DVM really should be officially sanctioned and prominently recommended on
d-p-l.org.
I think the only big improvement DVM could really use at this point is a
system-wide installation option that avoids the "edit .bashrc/whatever..."
step on Posix. With just that, I really think it should be the #1
recommended way of obtaining DMD. And installers should be based upon it.
