Thanks for the reply, alle99z. Sorry for my badly-phrased 
question, I think I need to clarify...

What I'm looking for is a system for bundling dlang apps and 
their dependencies for distribution to end users. Hopefully, this 
bundler will:

- install the app in an appropriate place (like C:\Program 
Files\<dlang-app>,
- install libraries/dependencies (such as GtkD) also in an 
appropriate place,
- make any modifications to the system PATH that may be necessary 
for the app to run, and
- handle any other roadblocks that will keep the user from using 
the app.

Whether this is an actual pre-existing application bundler or 
just a list of instructions I can follow so I can end up with a 
distributable one-click-does-it-all (on Windows, at least) 
package.

Similarly, on Linux or other UNIX-alikes, a breakdown of how to 
use apt or something similar to do the same so the user can (for 
instance) just do:

apt-get <app> <appropriate switches>

to install.
