That makes me think of a hierarchy immediately:

                main.d+
               /      \
          abc.d+       def.d
         /     \
    hij.d*      klm.d

A change in hij.d bubbles up to abc.d and finally to main.d.
This is much simpler than a full analysis of whether the
change in hij.d really has effects up to main.d.

"dmd -c main.d abc.d hij.d" would then rebuild the set.

Caveat: A directed graph with no cycles is over-simplistic.
Someone with a large project could perhaps tell what the
average % of rebuilt modules would be.
