I've been using dmd with wine for a long time... I find it 
sometimes seems to deadlock, but when it does, I just ctrl+c 
and run it again. Mildly annoying but not a showstopper.

I never understood why you guys use DMD on wine. Theres a DMD for 
linux...

Is it because you want to develop your windows programs without 
having to run a full virtual machine?
