I'm trying it out, but not through the .zip files, I use git instead.
Maybe if you started versioning the zip files I'd be more inclined to
use them (this is something that was mentioned in dconf but you seemed
to have ignored the tip).

And I'm unhappy that I'm forced to mention about the broken
documentation for every single release, this whole process should have
been automated years ago.

But let's bury the hatchets. I think Nick mentioned it would be a good
idea to have a D script of some sorts that would build the .zip
release. If we had that, I suppose we could also have a test-case for
the script itself to make sure we always have fresh documentation and
the newest builds of all tools (e.g. the RDMD.exe in the zip file is
time-stamped for 2 weeks ago).

If we had this whole release procedure open then we could start fixing
bugs such as distributing newer import libraries
(http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6625), and separating
.zip files so Windows/Posix files are not mixed in the same archive.
