I fully agree, not being platform independent is a fundamental problem 
and (IMO) an unacceptable one for a modern build system (for D or 
otherwise).

I also echo your comments about the build actions/commands: For a build 
system to be truly platform independent, the core/common set of build 
actions must be available in the build tool itself, not as external 
command-line programs (unless the programs are supplied by the build 
system itself).
