The only concern is the risk of concurrent development of stdio and Tango's I/O. It would be best to not balkanize the community by presenting them functionally almost equivalent interfaces. Phobos already has two, no, three mutually incompatible ways of dealing with files. I don't know how this can be approached effectively.

In fact I've already hit a hitch:  README.txt sends the reader to http://dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/TopicInstallTango which says one should run ./lib/install-dmd.sh, which is not to be found in the distribution... probably I'll need to set an account on dsource.org and ask there.

It was moved to /install/install-dmd.sh, and I guess we missed updating the README :-)  If you want to do a manual install, the instructions are here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/TopicInstallTango

Personally, I just publish the appropriate stuff to /include/d/tango and /usr/lib directly from the SVN tree via a script.

Oops, I misunderstood.  That link also has instructions for how to perform a manual install.
