I think we should use the D mainline bug flow for VisualD, effectively vaulting

This opens the door to other projects as well - e.g. emacs and vim integration

VisualD is now a component on Bugzilla, so Manu can start reporting bugs there!

Another thought... what do you reckon about including Visual-D as an optional component in the windows DMD installer?

One-click install that includes an environment for windows users would probably kick-start a lot of users.

It can also simplify the Visual-D installation, which expects you to have pre-installed DMD, and prompts for the path to the exe. Since this is known during the DMD installer, it removes a few steps from the install process.
