rdmd is used for script-like usage of D source files, so leaving an 
executable inside the source folder is considered undesired.

Visual D only uses rdmd if you use "Compile and run/debug" on a single 
file. If you create a project, Visual D will usually create an output 
directory inside the project folder for you, but you can also configure 
this in the project configuration. Project builds use dmd for 
compilation, not rdmd.
