Hmm...isn0t it too simplistic?

For our project, we have need to e.g. buil lib from the included sources
of 3rd party C library, then use SWIG to provide D bindings for it, then
build D libs using those bindings and only then buil D executable.

That's why we're targetting CMake/CPack and want to help Jens to push D
support upstream(the only problem is we're a bit short on time atm.)


Sincerely,
Gour
