I get that the main goal here is to make things easier to install 
and use. I still think my point stands though. While versioning 
isn't an issue if libraries aren't tied directly to the compiler, 
they often depend on other things that are. Probably the standard 
library for example.

You also lose things with this approach. From what I have seen, 
collections tend to be somewhat messy projects. They are not 
quite as good a they feel like at the start.

Imo, I would rather focus on improving the existing things 
instead of starting from scratch. That's where I'm coming from. 
Awesome-D has improved a lot recently. The game section is 
looking nice. I can't speak much about the other sections.
