I'm not sure about the 64-bit part (I assume its possible, DMD can 
certainly do 64-bit).  I think someone posted a little while ago how to 
use the MSVS linker to build DMD executables (I can't find the thread 
here).  I would search at bit longer however I've gotta run.

Also integration wise, people have done that before.  Check out the 
thread "D and MSVC .net 2002".

Hope that was helpful.
