Win64 is pretty well-supported for some time now, though you have 
to install the MSVC toolchain to use it.  The download page was 
updated a couple months ago in a confusing way, all dmd compilers 
support 64-bit compilation:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/593/files

What the download page means to say is that there's no 64-bit dmd 
binary for Windows, but the 32-bit dmd binary will compile D 
source into 64-bit Windows code also.  I'd submit a pull to make 
this clear, but I'm not sure where it should go on the page.  It 
should be fixed.
