If you know in advance that ALL of your market is 64bit today, or If you 
expect the client to buy whatever you tell them to (I understand that graphical 
designers buy whatever the photoshop box says to buy) that's one thing, but 
If you are selling to people who will only upgrade if forced to, then only 
shipping in 64bit is just spending someone else money (never a good idea). 
It sounds like you might be in the first cases so you might be fine, but 
enough users of D are in the second case that 32 is not a waist of time for 
a lot of people.
