Oh, I'm not sure if it does this already, but it would be great if DMD 
used the fully qualified module name instead of the file name for 
library additions.  Or something along those lines anyway.  Having to 
deal with filename collisions while building libraries is an annoying 
anachronism.  I believe with Tango we tell the librarian to use the path 
name instead of just the file name, but not all librarians support this.
