I don't know what build tools you're using, but consider make:

------ win32.mak ---------

DMD=\dmd\windows\bin\dmd

target : foo.obj

foo.obj : foo.d
     $(DMD) -c foo
--------------------------

Now, we can drive it with a makefile that customizes the macros like so:

------ makefile ----------

target:
     make -fwin32.mak DMD=\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd
--------------------------


I use this technique a lot. You can also have makefiles recursively call 
themselves and reset the macros:

---------- makefile --------
DMD=\dmd\windows\bin\dmd

target : foo.obj

target2:
     make target DMD=\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd

foo.obj : foo.d
     $(DMD) -c foo
----------------------------
