How bundles a Dlang application and all its dependencies into a 
single .exe package?

There are several tools creating installers such as nsis. 
However, if you want to make an all-in-one portable app (there 
are tools doing it too), you have to be sure that the licenses of 
your dependencies allow doing it. I don't think you are allowed 
to do it using Qt.

You can embed files in the .exe using the import statement:

I've used https://github.com/rikkimax/Bin2D in the past. I've 
never thought about the license issue before with dlls. probably 
some kind of grey area here. since they would still be seperate 
from the executable but also contained in them?

Placing all your assets into an exe is usually done if the exe itself is 
self extracting (and doesn't link against a shared library, dynamically 
is fine). In other words it doesn't have your code linked in.

There is no one right way to do this.
As others have stated e.g. NSIS, Bin2d(mine).

Unless the size of the assets are small-ish, I wouldn't want it all to 
be stored in the executable that contains your code. It would be too big 
and have problems.

Keep them separate and have an installer if a zip archive isn't good 
enough ;)
