I've been thinking there really should be a nice central repository for
information relating to D cross compilers, associated patches and build
process/scripts...
Perhaps an official section on d-p-l? I'd *really* love to see simple
buildscripts for linux users, and pre-built mingw toolchains for Windows.
This would really stimulate cross platform usage of D I think; relaxing the
requirement that an interested user understands, and is capable of building
the toolchain themselves.
Particularly Android; I think D could make a strong and immediate splash
for Android devs looking to avoid the Java front end/UI system.
