DMD is not really designed to be used as a library. Although there's 
been some progress in that area lately. There's a student that works on 
restructuring the compiler as a library. We have the lexer and parser 
available in a DUB package [1] to be used as a library.

I recommend getting in contact with Razvan Nitu [2] and Andrei about this.
