Understood, feel free to close the PR while the concept is on the 
backburner or in the works. To clarify: I'd initially misunderstood the 
scope of your proposal and I'd be happy with something that simplifies 
the overall "getting into dmd development" experience. A solid, simple 
and attractive charter is key here. Naming might be important, too, 
finding a good "D-all-in-one" moniker could help with traction a fair 
amount.

The matter of "where do I put tools related to D development but not 
necessarily part of the distribution" remains.


Thanks,

Andrei
