Thanks for doing all of this - an impressive effort by a single 
person.

Is it worth writing a quick D build script to automate 
downloading and building the whole thing?  There are lots of 
different little bits to get right that become invisible with 
experience.  "Everything's easy when you know how to do it".  I 
got stuck at various points previously, but I will have another 
go, and if I get there this time will turn into a quick script.
