Just curious, but I was wondering if there was a 2.067 DDMD available for download somewhere for Windows. If not, then are there any special build instructions I need to build it? I kind of just want to try a couple of things, so I would rather I not have to build it if I can avoid it.

the 2.067 ddmd is available as a static library. For the moment it only includes the lexer and the parser:

https://github.com/yebblies/ddmd

it does not require anything specific to build: pass the sources, set the -lib switch, maybe set the warnings/depreciations to off because there are some small syntax issues (C-stle array or switch case fallthrough).

Yes, I was aware of this, but I actually want it as a compiler.

No, just build dmd from source as you normally would, but add the target ddmd instead.  They are supposedly going to try to get the next 2.068 release to use ddmd, and want to get the next release out sooner, so you may not have to wait long for an official ddmd release.
