The more I think about it the more I think we need a tool for automatically checking out and building the latest releases of DMD/druntime/Phobos that's:
1. Easy to use. 2. Well-documented. 3. Cross-platform. 4. Configurability/not hard-coding everything. I don't know how many times I've put off creating pull requests for relatively minor improvements to Phobos because of the hassle of either writing such a tool myself (I've written a quick/dirty/ad-hoc one just for myself but it really sucks in almost all attributes mentioned) or manually updating everything before I could get started. Given that Walter apparently has a tool that's most of the way there, it would be great if he released it.
