From my experience, one of the reasons I haven't had much to do
with the development of dmd is simply to compile dmd, druntime

All I can say is with ddmd make it compilable with dub same
goes with druntime. With a nice tutorial on how to set it all
up on Windows/Linux ext.
Preferably with a nice automated means of, this is how we make
a release build for platform x.
I used this guide from the wiki some time back to start building
dmd/druntime/phobos and run their tests, pretty easy:

Non-Windows builds are very easy. Windows builds require a bit
too much manual configuration, I'll agree with that.
It'll go along way. It really would. And anyway it'll really
show off the power of dub ;)
Daniel should stick his D frontend up there as a library, even if
it isn't architected to be used as a library right now. People
will find ways to use it and his translated code will get some
testing.
