Should all this really be on the download page, though? There's 
like a score platforms/architectures/combinations of such between 
all compilers combined.

Have you looked at the linked wiki page?

http://wiki.dlang.org/Compilers

I'm not sure we should essentially be copying that table to 
dlang.org.

I think we are good as we are right now. There is an "others" 
link on the download page, so people interested in support for 
less common or less supported platforms can find said information 
on the wiki.
