Here's what worked for me. The script also allows compiling dmd programs 
on the fly. For some reason I needed to include libtango.a in the DFLAGS 
variable.

-----------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

D_BIN=$(dirname $(which dmd))
WHICH=$1

if [ "$WHICH" = "phobos" ]; then
     DFLAGS="-I$D_BIN/../src/phobos -L-L$D_BIN/../lib 
-L-L$D_BIN/../../dm/lib"
elif [ "$WHICH" = "tango" ]; then
     DFLAGS="-I$D_BIN/../../tango-0.96-bin -version=Tango -version=Posix"
     DFLAGS="$DFLAGS -L-L$D_BIN/../../tango-0.96-bin/lib libtango.a"
else
     echo "Please pass either phobos or tango as the first argument"
     WHICH=""
fi

if [ ! -z "$WHICH" ]; then
     shift
     if [ "$*" != "" ]; then
	dmd $*
     else
	export DFLAGS
	echo "dmd configured for $WHICH"
     fi
fi
