Today I saw that a new DMD version had been released. So I
downloaded it (dmd-2.074.1.exe).
Unfortunately, the installer does *not* detect VS2017, instead
it asks me to install VS2013 for x64 support.
That PR was merged into the master branch, not the stable
branch, so the updates to the installer will be in 2.075.0.
Presumably, they either thought that it was too large a change
for a release that only has bugfixes, or they just merged it
into master, because that's the default, and they didn't think
about it.

I strongly assume that it's the latter. It has simply been
forgotten.
However, it's not difficult to cherry-pick it for `stable`:
