DMD's sources are already in the prepackaged zip release. Building it can be 
a little complicated if you don't already know how, but it's easy if you 
install the latest version of DVM:

https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm

Then, downloading and recompiling DMD is as simple as:

$dvm fetch 2.057
$unzip dmd.2.057.zip
$dvm compile ./dmd2

BTW, that reminds me: Jacob, I think we need to update the code that detects 
the latest version of DMD (asap). Compiling the git sources with DVM relies 
on it (but not compiling the packages releases), and for awhile I thought 
ftp.digitalmars.com was just going down, but I think now the download page's 
move to d-p-l.org has just simply broken the "latest DMD"-detection.
