I use a script of mine that picks up files in some directory according to  
a rule defined in .build (or *.d/*.di if none present - default rule) and  
outputs to stdout. An output is then redirected to some file, custom  
parameters added and passed to dmd as following: "dmd @commands".

It is very fast and flexible.

btw, I use bud and dsss, too.
