So perhaps the D tooling for SCons should move more towards the Java
approach than the C/C++/Fortran approach, i.e. a compilation step is a
single one depending only on source files and generating a known set of
outputs (which is easier than Java since it can generate an almost
untold number of output files, Scala is even worse).
