DSSS, the D Shared Software System, is a tool to ease the building, 
installation, configuration and acquisition of D software.

0.71 has a lot of added features and a few fixed bugs. It's an interim 
release while I'm making lots of additions, so 0.72 should be chock-full 
of good stuff too.

Of particular note are the much improved README.software_engineers 
(still not quite done, but much better), the 'binstall' command, 
'installdir' hook command and --debug for creating both debug and 
release versions of binaries and libraries.

Here's the changelog for 0.70-0.71:

0.71 from 0.70:
         - Much-improved README.software_engineers.
         - Fixed 'set' and 'add' commands (see ticket #102).
         - Added 'error' and 'warn' hook commands (see ticket #103).
         - Added 'binstall' subcommand (see ticket #105).
         - Added 'noinstall' setting (see ticket #106).
         - `dsss install` now installs .di files in libraries (see 
ticket #92).
         - Added 'installdir' hook command (see ticket #84).
         - Rebuild: Should now handle non-DMD compilers derived from DMD 
more
           easily (see ticket #115).
         - Rebuild: Fixed configuration's "include" option (see ticket 
#116).
         - Rebuild: Fixed a crash bug with the highly-uncommon pragmas
           containing declarations (see ticket #117).
         - Added --config file for testing alternative dsss.conf's (see 
ticket
           #109).
         - Added --debug option (see ticket #108).
         - Added .dsssrc support (see ticket #120).

0.70 from 0.69:
         - Rebuild: Merged DMD 1.020.
         - Should now trim whitespace in "name" (and other) settings (see
           ticket #93).
         - Now uses 'svn export' instead of 'svn co' (see ticket #96).
         - Will now always remove temporary directories, even if the build
           failed (I decided this wasn't worth the difficulty it causes).
