GDC build comes with C/C++ ... ?

Well, I'd already put it in /opt/gdc (since there's no uninstall option it feels 
dangerous to put it anywhere else), but I had added /opt/gdc/bin to the path -- 
which as you say is the problem.

Rather than putting in symlinks, I decided to tweak the script which adds stuff 
in /opt to $PATH -- adding it to the end rather than the beginning.  It works, 
because there's no overlap between what's in /opt and what's elsewhere in the 
system, bar these C/C++ instances -- and I don't want to use them.

I was just curious whether having them was actually necessary for the GDC 
install, or whether they could be discarded as byproducts, and whether there was 
a way to do that at make install time ...
