Well, part of the problem is that the zip is inherently broken for *nix
systems due to the fact that symlinks don't work properly. So, now that we
have an so version of Phobos, the zip just isn't going to work properly
anymore. And while we aren't really looking to break DVM, AFAIK, there would
be no other reason to keep the zip around other than for DVM. And since the
zip isn't going to work properly on *nix systems anyway, I'm not sure that
keeping it around for DVM really solves much.
*nix is really not correct to say. Currently only Linux 64bit supports
shared libraries. It's not like it's broken on all platforms, just one.
Sure, it will break once we get support for share libraries on
additional platforms.
If static linking is default nothing is broken.
Which format can we use for these platform specific packages? For which
of these are there existing bindings or libraries?
