FYI the latest release of dfmt, dscanner and dcd comes with 
binaries for Linux.
The next release will have binaries for OSX:

https://github.com/dlang-community/DCD/pull/458

We are still trying to find the easiest way to build binaries for 
Window on our CIs, see e.g.

https://github.com/dlang-community/discussions/issues/9

But either AppVeyor or Wine should work.
