Easier even than that.  The import() expression allows you to include
arbitrary data in your app.

const data = cast(byte[])import("filename.dat");

All you have to do is pass the -J flag to DMD to indicate the path
where filename.dat lives.  import() returns a string (a char[]) but
you can cast it to whatever type you want, like I've casted to byte[]
here.  :)
