I'm trying to write up a tutorial for D+vibed and have stumbled 
on a pretty basic issue.  The DMD installer for OSX fails out of 
the box on Lion and Mountain Lion because Apple got rid of their 
developer command line tools stuff:

So basically the install process for new mac users is:
1. Get Xcode
2. Install Command Line tools via Xcode preferences
3. Run DMD mac installer

Obvious first question:
D needs Xcode to run? <sigh>

Is this going to be fixed in the next release or should I just 
point to the .zip package instead?

Thanks,
Josh
