simply because of the retarded name incompatibilities.
The problem is more global than that. Many people have multiple versions
of dmd on their system - from one release to the next. It's not going to
work to keep renaming dmd for every release.
This is just the case DVM is made for. It will fix most of these problems.

dmd keeps a dmd.conf in the directory where it resides, which tells it
where to find the right version of the library, etc. That means that all
your makefile needs to do is pick the right dmd, either by setting the
path, an environment variable, or hardcoding it in the makefile.
