DVM will support any version that follows this:

* Location and name of the DMD archive:
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.<version>

* The archive needs to contain a single folder with one of the following 
names: "dmd" or "dmd2"

* The platform specific files need to be in a folder named as follows:
Mac OS X: "osx"
Linux: "linux"
FreeBSD: "freebsd"
Windows: "windows"

(seems to be failing at this requirement).

* The path of the bin folder needs to be located in the platform 
specific folder and be named "bin" or "bin64"

* The path of the bin folder needs to be located in the platform 
specific folder and be named "lib" or "lib64"

* It needs to have a folder named "src" at the root level

* It needs to have a file named "dmd.conf" (on posix) or "sc.ini" (on 
windows) in the bin folder.
