I usually compile programs with bud, that applies the same thing to all modules. I presume as dsss.
As soon as Walter realizes that's a quite natural way to use D (that is, to let something (possibly the compiler) find the modules it needs by itself. LDC may eventually grow this essential feature), he may think about ways to influence the compiler from the code itself, creating compiler directives that can be embedded in the code (as in Pascal).
I am not sure this is the best good solution, maybe there are better solutions, like improving those tools (or the compiler) to allow a finer specification of the compilation flags.
