I don't know if everyone uses it.  On linux, you'd probably have to 
build it first, using the makefile that comes with it.

But once you've got it, it's by far the easiest way to build D programs. 
 It parses your source code to find the modules you import, and 
compiles and links the whole thing.  To build the allegro demo game:

c:\prog\dallegro>bud demo\demo alleg.lib


Instead of specifying 'alleg.lib' on the command line, you can add it in 
the source code:

version (build) {
    debug
        pragma(link, "alld.lib");
    else
        pragma(link, "alleg.lib");
}
