That would be an OSX .dmg. Is a member of the community interested in
taking up such a project?
Michel Fortin's D for Xcode installer has the option to download and
install DMD.

Michel, would you want to adapt and contribute your installer for pure
D installation?
I could, but first you need to tell me how you want it installed. My
installer creates a directory at /Library/Compilers/dmd and-or
/Library/Compilers/dmd2 and installs the package from the zip file
there. It then creates symlinks in /usr/local so dmd and the other
tools are on your paths. It also installs a script that let you switch
the symlinks between the two versions of dmd for D1 and D2 in case you
have both installed. Also, for dmd itself, instead of a symlink it
installs two tiny executables that executes dmd in
/Library/Compilers/dmd{,2} (like a symlink would do) but also changes
the path of argument zero so that it matches the new path (so that dmd
finds its corresponding dmd.conf file).
So, how do you want dmd to be installed on OS X?
