Why would one need to build DMD in order to make changes to a set of API bindings?

Has Walter promised us that every pull request for the WindowsAPI bindings will be put in
right away?
Even if he had, what would be the point? It would greatly slow down the whole process.
We have SVN repositories so that people can just put their updates straight in, and
everyone else not only has access to the update straight away but can obtain it with
either a one-line command line invocation or a few mouse clicks. The only problem is that
the SVN server that is currently hosting the bindings doesn't work properly. We already
have a potential solution: moving it across to Github. As such, I'm going to see if I can
figure out how to do this.
