Sorry, it was a bit unclear. I meant that:
- A console window is only meaningful in debug builds, so it 
should be disabled in release builds.
- Debug binaries should not be published, as they are meant for 
development only. They execute contracts, unittests and code in 
"debug" statements, which slow down the app and are useless for 
an end-user.

DMD makes a console application by default, no matter what build 
profile is used.
Here's a relevant thread:

It's suggested there to use "-L/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS" switch in DMD 
command line when linking under Windows.
