Yeah, it seems like POSIX kind of failed in the sense that you 
can't just have a simple posix makefile that works for any posix 
compliant os.

The problem with using those is that most D libraries are built 
with DMD in mind, like Vibe.d. DMD is pretty much setting the 
standard for how D behaves.
