Perhaps an official section on d-p-l? I'd *really* love to see simple buildscripts for linux users, and pre-built mingw toolchains for Windows. This would really stimulate cross platform usage of D I think; relaxing the requirement that an interested user understands, and is capable of building the toolchain themselves. Particularly Android; I think D could make a strong and immediate splash for Android devs looking to avoid the Java front end/UI system.
