I agree too. That's why I made sure the D for Xcode installer installs 
DMD too, so the user doesn't have to bother about that whole mess.

If you download this package from Safari it'll automatically open in 
Mac OS X's standard installer program from where you can proceed with 
the installation. The installer package does not contains DMD: it 
downloads the latest version from the website during the install 
process. It installs DMD 1 and DMD 2 and makes them work both from the 
command line though symlink trickery.

A nice "side effect" of using this installer is that you'll also be 
ready to use D from whithin Xcode. But you can deactivate that part by 
customizing the install and unchecking the relevant subpackages. You 
can install just DMD 2 or just DMD 1 that way too.

Try it, it just works.
