(Requiering that Git is in the PATH or maybe searching some standard locations). Now the update.sh can be a D program. Ported it. Might need some tweaking before it works on Windows or OS X, and I do not claim it is pretty. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/pull/158 Laeeth.

It has been a source of inspiration to write a D script designed to build DMD-head for win32, though it'd need improvment: http://wiki.dlang.org/Building_DMD#Using_a_D_script - it clones or pulls dmd/runtime/phobos - it builds dmd/runtime/phobos with a few tweaking it could be cross-platform.
