There is definitely still a hanging bug in .72.1.  Gregor said that it's 
fixed the not-yet-released 0.73.   (The bug I'm talking about comes from 
failing to close or properly balance nested constructs like parentheses.)

But anyway those hangs usually happen before any linker line appears, 
probably during dsss's initial scan to find imports.

This seems to be happening after, so I'm not sure what it could be.

I just tried building the docs, though (dsss build --docs), and 
apparently '--docs' makes dsss revert to trying to build a .lib.  Not 
sure if that's from necessity or just a bug.  I suspect the latter, 
because I think dmd generate docs one-file-at-a-time without building a 
lib.
