Actually, I'd argue in this particular instance, since we know that the
compiler failing to find object.d means that the user doesn't have their paths
set up correctly (probably due to a bad dmd.conf or a the wrong one being found
first), it would be beneficial to give a much more specific error that
indicated that dmd couldn't find the standard libraries because the paths or
dmd.conf were not set up correctly.

Also, it would be very useful for the first time user if this problem were
specifically mentioned on the installation page for dmd with instructions as to
the likely causes (missing dmd.conf, poorly configured dmd.conf, find wrong
dmd.conf first, etc). It would make it much friendlier for people to try and
install D for the first time - particularly since this is a fairly common
problem.
