Hi,

I checked it out. There is only a dmd.conf. I've included it 
below.

;
; dmd.conf file for dmd
;
; dmd will look for dmd.conf in the following sequence of 
directories:
;   - current working directory
;   - directory specified by the HOME environment variable
;   - directory dmd resides in
;   - /etc directory
;
; Names enclosed by %% are searched for in the existing 
environment and inserted
;
; The special name %@P% is replaced with the path to this file
;

DFLAGS=-I/usr/include/dmd/phobos 
-I/usr/include/dmd/druntime/import -L-L/usr/lib
