The D frontend (and therefore all compilers) already has code to print
the import paths. Unfortunately this code is only used when an import
is not found:
------------------------------------------------------------------
test.d:1:8: Fehler: module a is in file 'a.d' which cannot be read
 import a;
        ^
import path[0] = /usr/include/d
import path[1]
= /opt/gdc/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.4/include/d
------------------------------------------------------------------

It should be trivial though to refactor this code and add a
command-line switch to dump the import path. See Module::read in
dmodule.c. If Walter opposes adding this to DMD (one more command line
switch!) we could probably still add it to GDC glue. This code is all
you need:

if (global.path)
{
    for (size_t i = 0; i < global.path->dim; i++)
    {
        const char *p = (*global.path)[i];
        fprintf(stderr, "import path[%llu] = %s\n", (ulonglong)i, p);
    }
}
