More questions related to running on ubuntu. I'd like to have

dmd and rdmd are in /usr/bin
druntime and phobos are in dmd, which is in /usr/include
Currently, I have 2.063 installed, and would like to install
2.063.2
alongside. Is there a procedure for this?
I was thinking of moving the "dmd" dir into a versioned
subdir, move
dmd and rdmd into some other subdir too. Then, I'd have to
write a
corresponding dmd.conf for each.

How do you coax different versions of dmd to pick up a different
dmd.conf file? The last time I tried it, all of them insisted
on reading
/etc/dmd.conf, which, of course, only actually works for one.

Didn't know that's where it was. I think it also reads the one
that is in the same directory as it, no?
That's how the zip packages work in any case.
That's what I decided to do anyways, just use the zips, and add a
simlink to the latest version in /usr/bin
