He is not asking to ship Visual D in the LDC distribution. He's 
asking if it's okay to include LDC in the Visual D distribution:

"I have prepared an installer of Visual D that comes with both 
DMD and LDC"

The way the verb "bundle" is typically used, "bundle A with B" 
means putting A inside the B package. (The same can be said about 
your usage of "distribute" in "distribute LDC with visual studio" 
in the first paragraph). So no, "bundle Visual D with LDC or DMD" 
is not what he means.

So if I'm properly reading the intent behind your words, you've 
got it backwards :-) What you're suggesting is actually what he's 
asking.
