self contained D executable that runs inside container

[y via Digitalmars-d]

currently if you want to run a D app inside a linux container you 
need to do a few things.

has a nice description.

what would need to be done to make this process slimmer and not 
need
e.g. nsswitch.conf and passwd?

in golang the process is included and i can easily create a 
static binary.
is it possible with ldc or dmd to create a similar static binary?
