It is. But there is another problem. D is a SYSTEM programming 
language, not just some productivity language. It means there is 
still dependency on the system libs! Heck, even Rust given up 
with jemalloc in favor of system allocator by default, if this 
says something...
Of course the problem with packaging the libs with compiler 
installation can be solved by using same approach MinGW did, like 
people say, or even using the MinGW libs if it is possible.
