I think you'd make a lot of people happy. Several documented attempts of 
installing Tango failed for me, so in the end I figured some way to get 
programs to compile with a special command line and a modification of 
dmd.conf. I need to modify dmd.conf whenever I switch between Phobos 
programs and Tango programs.
