It won't affect DSSS at all, DSSS has a simple patch to add the 
appropriate dsss.conf for them.  The dsss.conf for dool, for example:

name=dool
[dool]


But to be honest, it'd be nice if you used DSSS. I'm trying to make DSSS 
powerful and easy enough to be usable as a replacement for any other 
build tool for D, and I hate to see the proliferation of build tools 
growing.

That being said, DSSS is a product of the proliferation of build tools, 
so I have little room to talk :)

It's up to you of course *shrugs*
