Currently in "/usr/share/dmd" with symlinks in "/usr/bin" and
"/usr/lib" IIRC. Shouldn't be any problem to change that.
I'd tend to prefer /usr/local/share/dmd and /usr/local/{bin,lib,man}.
For one thing that'll allow things to work with D for Xcode out of the
box (which expects to find dmd and phobos in /usr/local/{bin,lib}) and
also I think it is a better place to install stuff not provided by the
vendor (Apple in this case). Typically, the vendor of a UNIX
distribution put its things in /usr and leaves /usr/local clean so users
can install their files separately of the ones provided by the
distribution. Or at least that's how I understand things.
I didn't know where to put it so I just chose a place. There was some
other installer that put it in /usr/share so I put it there as well.
