That's great work and progress!


I just wanted to a side note:

If you manage to build tarballs of the binaries, I think a lot of 
people would greatly appreciate if they are made available (e.g. 
can be done directly on GitHub via "Releases").
For example, see https://github.com/dlang/installer/pull/251, 
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/xktompypwvaabwebnjol@forum.dlang.org, or https://forum.dlang.org/thread/bnkbldsifjhsseswiceq@forum.dlang.org .

If the download links are in the official install.sh script, then 
it will auto-magically be available on Travis CI and others.

I'm happy to help with getting such releases shipped.
