Alternatively, I could add dmd to the Visual D installer. If the files 
are actually inside the package, I guess it is a bit easier this way 
because the Visual D installer does quite a bit of registration and 
patching.

But both installers use NSIS, so it shouldn't be a big deal to merge 
them either way.
