Thanks! Bear in mind that the autor is working on splitting the 5 
modules into separate files for each class. That is because 
currently everything is too cluttered into one file for each sfml 
sub-module. See the Experimental branch, it is almost done. After 
the change you would be able to more easily browse code and the 
only change you would have to make is in the imports. So instead 
of:
import dsfml.system; -> import dsfml.system.all;
or import specific classes:
import dsfml.system.vector; //or something like that

Also about building and assembling everything together, see 
https://github.com/Jebbs/DSFML/issues/34
A build.d script is being worked on and things like adding more 
documentation, unittests and examples are being worked on too. 
Also an suggestion has been made to add dsfml to the DUB package 
manager(that is used by vibe.d) and is something similar to 
ruby's gems manager.

And now that Direlict has been mentioned, I suggest you to not 
use it for sfml. It is just a collection of c-bindings of popular 
libraries.
