Another idea I've been toying around with is supplying a full
GCC collection (i.e. C/C++/D) using GCC 4.0.3, for use with
Mac OS X 10.2/10.3 and Windows/MinGW. Probably easier to do a
vanilla FSF build for those, than using the "system" compiler ?

So for the GDC 0.20 it's going to be GCC 3.3.6 / Apple gdc-5363
for Mac and MinGW GCC 3.4.2-20040916-1/3.4.5-20060117-1 for Win,
but future versions might provide a full build using GCC 4.0.3
or perhaps even GCC 4.1 and 4.2 when GDC starts support those ?

Will probably use /opt/gnu, and include a patched GDB as well...
But it will come after wxD (and Code::Blocks) have been improved.
