I'm still waiting for Walter to add the osx installer to the dmd
download page.
Speaking of that OS X DMD installer, are you sure installing it at
/usr/share/dmd/ is a good idea? Normally /usr/share is reserved for
architecture-independent data[1], not executable files. What about
/usr/local/dmd with symlinks in /usr/local/bin for executables
/usr/local/lib for phobos and druntime and /usr/local/man for man pages.
Or perhaps install /Library/D/{dmd,dmd2} so the files are more user
accessible and easy to change if you got the zip archive (/usr is a
hidden dir on Mac OS X).
If I'm not mistaken, both your D1 and D2 installer install at the same
location and they will overwrite each other. I'd much prefer if D2 and
D1 could coexist without having to go with a special installer or custom
installation instructions. Otherwise it'll be hard for me to offer the
choice between D1 and D2 in Xcode (and I certainly do want that choice
to be available).
Thoughts?

Sorry I haven't replied sooner I've been on vacation.
I looked at a gdc installer and looked where it placed the compiler and
did the same. I don't know where it's best to place the compiler.
