#if you are assuming DMD is being installed by an un privileged user

By all means, run it from where it got unziped. In fact if I were admin on 
the system I'd discourage anyone from running binaries owned by another user. 
If they want it but can't talk me into installing it for everyone, then build 
your own. I think there might be security problems with doing it the other 
way.

#else

Follow the lead of most every other program out there and put things where 
they belong.

#endif
