Kai,
It would be indeed great to automate this once and for all.
We have an installer project at
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer. If you create a
pull request for that project, I'd be glad to review and integrate it.
If you need help with creating a pull request on github, feel free to
ask here - several contributors are quite familiar with such.
Thanks,
Andrei
I created the pull request, but haven't heard back. I'm happy to be
patient if you would confirm the pull request worked as designed. :)
