What would you prefer?

Aside from a better library format you need something to give DMD the information. 
Switching to a better library format has several issues including requiring 
more tools to make them and view them as well as it doesn't solve the problem 
of linking with C libs that don't and never will use this new format. Not 
fatal issues I'll grant, but what we have works NOW.
