If you had an option to change __FILE__ to be canonical, then it could be.

i.e. instead of:

C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\file.d

you stored:

(imports)\std\file.d

where (imports) (or maybe some other token) was substituted in for the 
base of every import. Files passed on the command line would just store 
the __FILE__ as it was passed.
