I had to set up dmd and friends on a fresh Ubuntu box, so I

Due to a realization that there were three places were
contributing info was held on the wiki, I have merged the pages
into this one as best as I could. This page now holds
everything someone should need to get started.
IMO this is a lot better. Thanks for doing it.
I don't have the knowledge, but recently there was discussion in
a different thread about guidelines for contributing to the
documentation. It would be good to have that info on this page.
Here are some examples of things that arose as I tried to
contribute:
1. Coding style (line width no more than 80 characters, no
trailing whitespace, ...)
2. This is what you can assume the reader knows. Otherwise you
should explain or link to a good explanation providing that
information.
3. Some guidelines on good and bad examples.
4. ddoc has lots of things like See_Also. When should they be
used?
I'd do it if I could.
