While I agree that measuring on the various configurations is a tedious 
and laboursome task, having the "unofficial" sources for languages not 
listed on the benchmark pages available in the shootout repository would 
help one in making his/hers own unofficial benchmarks. For example I 
often like to perform the JVM language benchmarks on various VMs and 
configurations so the default results have no value to me. I often 
convert code from some high level language to D, so having D in the tests 
would help in this regard, also.
