This looks like a JS hack for the multi-column CSS problem 
(trying to have multiple columns, and having each column have the 
height of the tallest one).

CSS3 has columns. Current browser support: 
http://caniuse.com/#feat=multicolumn

However, in this case, this seems unnecessary, as the left part 
of the page will rarely be taller than the right part, and even 
in that case, the layout looks acceptable. Thus, it's possible to 
simply set the vertical separator as a non-repeating background 
on the left side of the right-hand column.

I was going to send a pull request to 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org , but that 
repository is out of date. Here's some "patches" and a patched up 
page to test: http://thecybershadow.net/d/dconf-org-layout/

(Alternatively, just use a table.)
