We have a really nice script: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/blob/master/update.sh Basically fetching that script and running it creates a full dmd development rig, soup to nuts. It's a boon for would-be contributors. In addition, it's a really clean and nicely written script that can be easily followed and traced. We should raise awareness of it. Ideas on how to do that?

Feature it prominently in the repo readmes, and the wiki guides.

DMDs test framework is also a hell to use on Windows. It takes 5 times as long to run on Windows compared to linux.

Why would that be? Andrei

It takes 5 times as long to run on Windows compared to linux. Should work fine on any POSIX compliant system with zsh. Use cygwin? Not really surprising windows isn't well supported, it's not a developer's platform. Does msvc C even support C99 yet?

It takes 5 times as long to run on Windows compared to linux. Hey well the script isn't too long. Someone should be able to port that baby to PowerShell in a few hours! Sadly, I don't have a Windows machine ... so I can't really help.

Then feature it in every announcement and make it one of the major ways of getting D.

(What a .sh script basically is) It would be great if the entire dmd testing process would be driven by a executable written in D. Same goes for the update.sh, why can't it be a D program? (Requiering that Git is in the PATH or maybe searching some standard locations).
