Is Tango known to work with DMD 1.041, on WinXP? I can't seem to get it working
with either "dsss net build tango", or by downloading a binary package, and
following the instructions here:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/WindowsInstall

If I build from source, with dsss net build tango, it eventually kacks with
missing files (Exception.d).

With the binary approach, when I go to build my app, I get link errors, like:

Error 42: Symbol Undefined
_D5tango4core9Exception11IOException5_ctorMFAaZC5tango4core9Exception11IOException

I'm interested in putting together a "D Box" for PC + OS X, similar to Peter
Seibel's LispBox concept (http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/lispbox/)

D itself works fine (both dmd, and gdc). The problem is that my "minimum
interesting configuration" is DMD+tango+derelict or GDC+tango+derelict.

It would be a great benefit if new, curious users could get up and running with
these modules in one click, in less than an hour.

1) Grab 
http://downloads.dsource.org/projects/tango/0.99.7/tango-0.99.7-bin-win32-dmd.1.033.zip

2) Extract to desktop

3) Open folder, copy paste bin/ example/ etc/ folders into your C:\dmd 
path (or whichever path you choose)

Do you really need to use version 1.041 compiler?
