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.
