It is fairly easy detecting imports correctly (except possibly for the
string mixin stuff) without the frontend, but the frontend _do_ give
rebuild a whole lot of potential power, for instance the ddoc generation is
enabled there. Partially I guess it is mostly done because Gregor have
several dmd frontend projects, and using it for rebuild was convenient.
