Not sure, but for one thing, don't put any files any global directories. 
That is, don't put dmd.conf in /etc, don't put phobos in /usr/lib and so on.

It adds DMD to the beginning of the PATH environment variable and 
doesn't rely on any global files.

I can see the point of that. But with the current update rate of D and 
the fact it breaks my code in each single release, I think being able to 
have multiple versions of DMD installed is crucial.

Another advantage is that DVM is cross-platform. If you're using 
multiple platforms you can use the same way to install DMD on all the 
platforms.
