Hello,


I got an email from someone who got an interest in D following my talk 
at Google. He tried to install dmd on OSX, but got turned off (and 
rightly so) for the unnecessary difficulties of that process and the 
lack of documentation. Nicely of him he took the time to write me and 
detail his experience. Following that, Walter managed to fix the most 
egregious documentation errors.

Ideally we'd have a one-click OSX installer for dmd - a .dmg file. Is 
someone able and willing to own this project? I think improving the 
out-of-the-box experience is important and urgent.

P.S. My talk at Google went, I think, reasonably well. It could've gone 
a whole lot better; I neglected to make a couple of points. The talk was 
recorded and, I was told, the recording will be on YouTube some time 
next week. My mentions of Python and Haskell will probably get me 
mortified in certain circles.
