Thinking on it, maybe a better solution would be to remove those settings from
the user entirely.

Imagine a UI that looks something like: "Add toolchain", the user is then
prompted to locate the root directory of the toolchain they want to 'add'.
VisualD may then identify if the path appears to be a DMD/LDC/GDC toolchain
based on various indicators. It may then even like to invoke the compiler's
diagnostic to interrogate the platform(/s) it targets (ie, MSVC/MinGW/ARM/...)

I've seen QtCreator and CodeLite work this way, and it is very convenient and
easy for users. CodeLite will even do a quick scan of predictable locations for
various toolchains that will be configured and made available automatically.

Sounds like quite a bit of work, but it might make this entire class of problem
disappear once and for all :)
