Maybe you could automate the sending of those reminders ;-)

I can recommend DVM, it lets you easily install and switch between different versions of DMD. Although currently it only supports releases and can not build from git.

Exactly the same thing works fine on Windows. I use "junction.exe" from sysinternals to deal with the symlinks. I have one directory for each released version, and one special development directory which contains symlinks to git dmd, phobos and druntime.

Wow, shows how amenable to just kludging things I am.  I just have dmd2/<os>/bin in my path and rename the directory for whatever version I want to use to dmd2.

This is _exactly_ what I do.

Awesome, thanks for the tip.

If you use Vista or later there is proper support for symlinks using the "mklink" command. I assume "junction.exe" creates junction points.
