I agree, but it's still worth taking a look at it and seeing if
there are any action items we should address.
The last time I tried to build dmd from source (on OS X) I found
the process pretty clunky compared to building similar languages,
like, say OCaml or Nim. I don't recall all of the pain points,
but I don't do it any more; I just grab the binary.
It would be great if the dmd build from source was just a few
simple steps I could run (git clone repo, make, make install, or
similar) and be confident that I had a working dmd. If that's how
it is now, just disregard this message...
