I am new to D. Where do I get a D compiler to build 64-bit

Searching the forum shows 64-bit support on Windows as
work-in-progress in 2013. Is this still the case?
Thanks.
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.
I am confused. Microsoft C/C++ tool chain is required in order to
use dmd? How?
I do have several MS Visual C++ compilers including the latest
(2013) but am not sure how I am supposed to used them alongside
dmd.
