Is it so hard to convert the zip to tarball in the installer scripts?
(hint: no)
But unless the zip itself is fixed, then anyone downloading it is going to end
up with a screwed up *nix setup unless they fix it themselves. It would be far
better to just fix the zip.

wouldn't they have a screwed up setup with a tarball as well? They'd
still need to fix $PATH and whatever you need to fix to make -lphobos2 work.
