With regard to the whole self-hosting thing, perhaps it is worth copying
the way Rust handles this:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/wiki/Note-compiler-snapshots
So in order to build one would usually download a binary compiler and use
it to bootstrap, but in theory one can take the last version of the
compiler before it became self-hosting, and build all the way to the
current version (but it would take a long time).
And that's how it will work with ddmd. Binaries will be available in the
form of releases with at least the most recent one being able to compile
master. Exactly how many releases we maintain compatibility for is yet to
be decided.
You can always pull the last C++ version from git and use that to step all
the way up to the latest ddmd, if you feel it's important to waste lots of
your time that way.
