Re: Could we use something better than zip for the dmd package?

How about self extracting 7zip archive? It kick ass.
Or have zip, targz/bz2 and 7zip download archive so chose what you like 
(repacking script should be more than 10 lines).
Or making separate packages for each OS (bit more of a work too)
Or making download/upgrade installer (tada!) its fancy and "in"!
