Is Gentoo needed to create package, although it isn't binary packages?

I see no reason in try to provide packages for a platforms that are already maintained by people that actually use those platforms. Such attempts are doomed to be inferior to native ones. It makes sense to take over support if it was abandoned for that specific platform but not before.

Well, there is a temporary option to get an 90-day evaluation version of enterprise edition ISO.
Here is 8.1, building DMD/druntime/phobos works for me:

You may snatch Windows 7 from them by navigating a bunch of links with "Evaluation" and "Older products" somewhere on that page. Might require registering Windows Live account as well.

In the longterm, well, they do offer digital editions (ISO images) for quite some time. I do suspect I can actually share ISO myself legally, as the only thing you do buy from MS is LICENSE (i.e. the key).
