Back to the main topic.

Walter is there any way we could help with improving packaging?

I guess for the first one the fastest way will be to make pull 
request for pull-tester and make consultation with bradd.

But AFAIK second one depends mostly on you.
It's really pain to download 20MB each time I need to install 
DMD... 5MB would be the max package size if we split OS versions.

And yeah, I move alot so downloading 20MB takes some time with my 
UMTS modem :)
