4. Windows: Create a batch script "Switch to DMD Phobos.bat" that deletes
the "dmd" directory tree and then copies "dmd-phobos" to "dmd". Do the
same
for Tango, and then run either of those when you want to switch.
Or use junction instead.

Rather handy.
That's awesome. Thanks. I had no idea windows could do that, and I was just
thinking even the other day that I wished that it could. Too bad it's only
for directories, not files, but still, that should be pretty nice to have.
Files? You want it for files too? Have I got a command for you:
fsutil hardlink create <new filename> <existing filename>

You'll need administrator privileges to run it (because most of its
other functionality is very low-level, journaling and MFT-sizing and
stuff like that), but it looks like it works on XP and up (2000 doesn't
appear to support it, but I can't tell for sure). And, of course, it
only works on NTFS partitions, but that should be a given.
