The SCons equivalent is:

	Program ( 'main.d' )

SCons (and I think Waf as well) does not support this idea (at least
currently).  In SCons you have to say:

	SharedLibrary ( 'libraryRootName' , Glob ( 'foobar/*.d' ) )
	StaticLibrary ( 'libraryRootName' , Glob ( 'foobar/*.d' ) )

D support in Waf is currently far more sophisticated than that of SCons,
but is still based on being a bit more explicit that your proposal
above.
