Did anyone tried to pack dmd as appimage? Is it even feasible?
It would be a easy way to:
- Run dmd without installation (and root permissions)
- Use multiple dmd versions
DVM [1] doesn't require root permission, allows multiple dmd
version and it's cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows). But it
requires to install DMD and DVM itself.

Here [1] it is explain how an appImage can be created from a PPA
or from a TravisCI build.
It seems that we just need to write a short script to get it
works.
