While I agree that measuring on the various configurations is a tedious and laboursome task, having the "unofficial" sources for languages not listed on the benchmark pages available in the shootout repository would help one in making his/hers own unofficial benchmarks. For example I often like to perform the JVM language benchmarks on various VMs and configurations so the default results have no value to me. I often convert code from some high level language to D, so having D in the tests would help in this regard, also.
