Not even remotely true.  DMD isn't easy to set-up either.

1) There's no documentation on build dependencies/prerequesites (that
I have come across)
2) While there's no configure, it instead offloads all complexity into
it's make files forcing you to correctly set every single ENV=
parameters in order for it to build properly.

I've never managed to get it built properly, so I rely on the
autotester a lot for changes.



This leads quite nicely into a new point.  Autotester support for
GDC/LDC!  *looks at Brad*
