BTW, I'm not arguing for this just because I'm building a tool. I'm 
arguing because the existing tools are not good enough, or does not do 
enough of what I want. RDMD is good enough for what it does, but it's 
not enough for what I need. I use it every day when compiling single or 
just a few source files.

I was a happy DSSS user back in the days of D1 and still are for the few 
projects I have left written in D1. I have no problem in using someones 
other tool if it does what I want. I'm just saying that if we want to 
have a standard/de facto build tool in the D community it needs be able 
to handle all kinds of projects, not just simple scripts. It do need to 
be able to handle those simple projects making it simple enough to use 
to be useful.
