I refuse to let the fact that we package every platform's download into

I've ever seen do this.
We're shifting away from this, there are per-platform zips and
installers now.
See a preview of the new download page.

That comes out to over 200 MB. Might be bigger due to debug builds of
Phobos taking more space.
I have 0 problem making the user choose his configuration at download
time. Each download should be 10MB, possibly x3 for debug and stack
frame builds.
We could provide additional phobos libraries for downloading.
Problem is, that it's currently fairly hard to switch your phobos library.
There is a plan to improve the config file processing to make such
things easier.
