Yes, I'm writing a build system for D (that will be pretty damn 
good, I think, it has some interesting new concepts), and 
compiling each source separately to an object, and then linking 
everything will allow easily to make the build parallel, dividing 
the sources to compile in various threads. Or the compiler 
already does that if I pass all source files in one call?
