No. Somebody must explicitly build the library.

However, any code that's templated cannot be pre-built because it must 
work with user-defined types, which the compiler cannot be aware of 
ahead of time.

It won't work with the non-templated parts of the library but go ahead 
and modify almost anything in std.algorithm and you will see the effect 
as soon as you compile your program. :)
