Correct me if I'm wrong. "DSSS is a system for the building, 
installation, configuration and acquisition of D software", but DSSS 
does not aim to be a generic build tool, am I correct? And thus it is 
not a replacement or generalization of make, but rather of "make 
install", so to say, which is a different story.
