I think installing tangobos on top of tango is probably easier than
figuring out how to set up the compiler to use Phobos. So I have to
agree. If you have a working Tango setup and want to try Phobos, do it
via Tangobos. If you decide that you don't need tango, then just
install the Phobos-only Zip that comes from digital mars.
But either way, I think the fsdev snapshots should include Tangobos. I
see no real reason not to. Just gives folks more options in a pretty
painless way.
