The dmd backend is 32-bit only. From what I understand of it, it's quite a
lot of work making a 64 backend and not enough of a priority for Walter
Bright. 

The only D compiler I know of that can produce 64-bit code is GDC. I don't
know if there is, or if it's possible to build a 64-bit version of GDC for
windows though.
