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.
