Another source of misery are the contents of the dmd zip file. Every time you need to set +x flag for the executable. This is so ridiculous. Does the Creator accept one bit binary patches to the distributions to make the solution a reality? It's open source: unzip dmdzip.zip chmod +x executables zip -r dmdzip *
