Hello chmod+x,
Another source of misery are the contents of the dmd zip file. Every
time you need to set +x flag for the executable. This is so ridiculous.
Does the Creator accept one bit binary patches to the distributions to
make the solution a reality? It's open source:
unzip dmdzip.zip
chmod +x executables
zip -r dmdzip *
IIRC the .zip is created on a windows box so that doesn't exactly work.

FWIW, http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?
art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=114660 mentions that the build system
uses *nix. I'm guessing the internal testing system uses modern *nix
tools, but the final release is published on a windows machine.
My understanding is that Walter still uses Windows for the final
packaging steps. It's ironic because he essentially uses cmd on Windows
in conjunction with a few command-line tools of his use that emulate
(badly, nonstandardly, and NIHily) 0.1% of Unix. I hope this to
gradually change.
