Well it already does everything I need, and probably more. I think that 
dsss is *the* tool for building D applications/libraries at the moment.

Whenever there is a new version of it, all I have to do is to download 
it, unpack, run couple 'dsss net install' commands to install the needed 
derelict packages and I'm set. Pretty much all my coding time goes to 
doing the nehe tutorials, so for those I've set myself up so that I have 
one dsss build script for all of the tutorials. I can do 'dsss build' 
and it builds all of them, or 'dsss build lesson01/lesson01.d' and it 
builds only that lesson. At the moment I don't need anything else. When 
adding a new lesson I'll just add two lines to the dsss.conf and I'm 
ready to build it.

In the past I've done other projects and they've been a breeze to build 
just because dsss does all of the micromanagement for me. I don't have 
to waste my time with make/build/rebuild/whatnot.

Just my 2c.
