I think it should be bundled with DMD, since DWT is the "standard" D GUI ;) And
obviously Tango should follow it :D

We don't know how or if that will happen yet. But we definitely need to 
fix that somehow.  Having the directory structure that we have currently 
is suboptimal.

Right...I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder. It also requires 
glu32.lib as well.

I have no idea.  But I'm  not sure if it should.  This is a fairly large 
library and adding all dwt platforms to the tango distribution would 
severely bloat the download.  I think it will be important to package 
dwt-win and dwt-linux in an easy-to-install format, however.

One option I'm thinking about is a sort of dsss package (making it easy 
to install like dsss net install).  All you should have to do is 
download the latest stable release of dwt (packaged something like 
DD-dwt-win-vXX.zip) and install the package locally with something like 
"dsss install DD-dwt-win-vXX.zip" which would install the *.di files and 
library.  This would make for simple integration of the package into 
IDE's and such.  But currently dsss does not have this feature... would 
be kind of nice, though. ;)

DWT Scintilla.
Could we use the "old" DWT wrapper ? Just had a look and afaik there is 
not sooo much to change, io/stream, exeption and SharedLib.load.

Yes, that is simple.  But I'd like an alternative option that can neatly 
package all the necessary content in one file for a particular version. 
  This way you can install/uninstall at whim knowing that you have the 
backup package immediately available for that version.  This is useful 
for off-line use when the net is not immediately available.

Currently, uninstalling a "net install" with dsss (I believe) does not 
backup the content.  My understanding is that you would have to download 
it all over again (Correct me if I'm wrong).  Also  I'm not sure how 
"net install" handles project versions, but I don't know of any easy way 
to install/uninstall different versions of a library (a procedure that 
might be useful for testing purposes).  Having a package, on the other 
hand, would eliminate this issue.  You can store these backups for later 
use if necessary, but not be obligated to use them once they are 
downloaded.

DSSS net has absolutely no concept of versions.  A library is either 
installed or it isn't.  So you are correct.  If you need to be able to 
switch between various versions then DSSS is very little help.
