DVM really should be officially sanctioned and prominently recommended on d-p-l.org. I think the only big improvement DVM could really use at this point is a system-wide installation option that avoids the "edit .bashrc/whatever..." step on Posix. With just that, I really think it should be the #1 recommended way of obtaining DMD. And installers should be based upon it.
