I agree with Andrei, it's part of that "eat your own dogfood" thing, at
least for "official" stuff.
I think holding off on package distribution management because a tool
doesn't work exclusively with phobos does not sit well with the goal of
practicality. Imagine if we required the compiler to be written in D
before it was "official".
Include the tool, work on the dogfood later. Note that most of the
dependencies are built-in to the tool, not external libs.
BTW, I just got a dog, and I call this statement into question, dogs eat
freaking anything :)
