My last post was overly long-winded. Summay:

Is there a particular reason rdmd's (r1400) line #326 is:

    myModules[/*rel2abs*/join(rootDir, moduleSrc)] = moduleObj;

instead of:

    myModules[moduleSrc] = moduleObj;

...? (ie, rdmd prepends "path to the file with main()" to all of the 
relative paths in the deps file)

The former causes problems for me, but when I change it to the latter all is 
fine for me.
