I'm almost done with a script (written in D) that does exactly that
(including per-platform archives, all-platform archives, zip and 7z). I
just need to get the generation of "d.chm" working[1], do some final
testing, and write a little more documentation.

There is one issue blocking it from working on the current GitHub
master though: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10856

One...uhh "interesting" thing I noticed while working on it: A lot of
the sources included in the 2.063.2 zip don't match GitHub. Some of
them (mainly in the backend) even appear to be specific revisions that,
AFAICT, don't even exist on GitHub.
