hello there,
Just added a paper for cross compiling D on arm linux devices.

As my english is not that good, every body who find mistakes
just try to fix it.
Thanks!
Just a little tip, but I would recommend avoiding giving
install instructions that vary from platform to platform. The
problem is that 2 years down the line, when someone discovers
this tutorial, they may discover that the instructions are no
longer applicable. That makes the entire tutorial seem
outdated. Also, the instructions are hard to verify for
contributors, since they probably already installed the
programs, so they can't tell if the instructions are outdated
or wrong.
Instead, I would recommend giving relevant links to install
instructions provided by the program/package creator. That way
the instructions are always up to date
All these instructions are not tied to a specified version, it
should work for the future. Linux Distribution like
fedora/debain/ArchLinux will not change such a package name for
installing arm toolchain, as the toolchain package is not like
libpng, you may have libpng11 libpng1.2 or what ever, it's just
solid package names.
