I know it's not a perfect tool and it contains bugs but most things do 
work. I don't know which issues have been reported by you, but it seems 
there's a problem with the "-l" flag. Running "dvm install 2.060" 
usually works. Could you please point out which issues have been 
reported by you.

I have very limited time to work with D, as I understand most people 
here has, and I'm currently working on other projects than DVM since 
basically does what I intended it to do when I started the project.

It seems most D installers are broken in one way or another. But the 
success rate with DVM seems to be quite high anyway.
