Sadly that's not so easy as

1) the GDC download path changed and we are still waiting on 
feedback from Ian on this (since more than, see 
https://github.com/dlang/installer/pull/251)

2) AFAICT there are no public binaries that use anything later 
than 2.068.2 could be used (see https://gdcproject.org/downloads)
