I actually use a shell script which I run from git's bash shell. It 
updates, builds, and installs DMD, druntime, and phobos. It currently is 
setup to build a 64-bit DMD with MSVC, and will build and install both 
the 32 and 64-bit druntime and phobos libraries. The dmd3 directory that 
I install to is basically a copy of the dmd2 directory created by the 
installer, except that I've deleted everything except the windows and 
src folders.
