Ah yeah, I only noticed December [2017] and thought it was 
brand-new. ;)

-dip already was IIRC. Don't you have a file with a list of files 
to be compiled with DIP1008 or something? ;)

I surely don't want to step down to Makefiles. E.g., with CMake 
we don't have to maintain a (or actually, multiple) Makefiles 
whenever adding, removing or moving some module (although I guess 
that'd be possible with Makefiles too). And there's quite a lot 
of LDC specifics, for cross-compilation, LTO etc.

We have the testsuite at least, so something breaking can hardly 
be missed. Good test coverage is the best way to catch our 
attention.
