DWT is still working perfectly fine. Just compiled it recently

Glad to see your spirit is not easily broken. That, however, does
not invalidate my statement. One would think that 10 years after
being dubbed the official graphics library for the language, it
would be simple to install DMD and DWT side by side on all DMD
supported platforms and the two just work well together.
Especially since people that advocated it claimed that by making
it official, it would legitimize their contributions to help
improve make improvements. It is not even usable on what appears
to be the platform you develop on/for, MAC OS X, and you are the
main maintainer/contributer.
