Complete source code comes with dmd. Try downloading:

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/changelog.html
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.1.063.zip

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/changelog.html
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd.2.048.zip

There are several people working on the source. Lots of D users compile their 
own versions of dmd. The complete dmd source code is also available here:
