No, I am saying that it Looks Good and that it should work OK... :-)

For Mac OS X 10.4, it is possible to compile the Apple/Mac GCC version
with D support but on Mac OS X 10.3 we have to use the FSF GCC version.
So that was why the versions of gcc and gdc didn't match on Mac OS X,
but it shouldn't be of any problem - since both are based on GCC 3.3 ?

As a side note I haven't packaged up the Xcode 2.4 compiler with GDC
in "gdcmac", but you can download the Xcode 2.3 compiler from "dgcc".
(i.e. the GDC version available for Mac OS X 10.4 on gdcmac site are 
currently made from the FSF GCC 4.0.1, and not from the Apple/Mac GCC)

Again, it shouldn't make much of a difference which GCC variant is used.
