Now only how come that

"dmd hello.d" results in a 1.70 mb application whereas

"dmd -c hello.d" && "dmd hello.obj phobos.lib" results in a 144 kb app

(sorry for confusion, Turns out I didn't link my app with phobos.lib but recompiled the object file with phobos.lib

The dll is searched by the system. It's a documented procedure. You can control it to some degree by manifest files.
