I was wondering about that.  I couldn't tell if the library files

Yep, just added "module object;" at the top of object.d.  I guess 
that's how it knows its the *real* object.d.

I believe I have made false assumption that GDC looks in root 
"include" folder of my toolchain for .di files and the root "lib" 
folder for .a files.  I may be jumping to conclusions.
