If you install it and then don't use a build tool, gdc/gdmd won't know 
where to find the includes. In short, everyone should use a build tool. 
Always. Always and forever. With GDC the only standard include locations 
are .../include (right next to the C[++] include files) and 
.../include/d/<gcc-version> (too constrained), so at the very least you 
need a build tool that knows more sensible include locations.

And the includes, by the way, are in .../include/d . If you're 
absolutely insane, you can include them with -I.../include/d .
