I've thought about this before. Here are my thoughts:

1. Querying the dependencies of one module, and compiling it, 
should be done in one go (one dmd execution).

The idea is that if we need to get a module's dependencies, it 
will be because the module is one we've never compiled it before, 
or the module itself or one of its previously-known dependencies 
has changed

2. Object files (and their .deps) should be cached independently 
of the entry point module.

This will allow speeding up incremental compilation of multiple 
programs that share some source files.
