Actually, that's not quite accurate. :-P  I only did std.algorithm; the
rest were done by other people. I didn't even do very much as far as the
makefiles were concerned; I just copy-n-pasted what std.container and
std.range did. I honestly don't even understand what the makefile lines
quoted above actually do (beyond a nebulous impression); I just
copy-n-pasted them for std.algorithm.  You might prefer to find somebody
else who has a better grasp of makefile subtleties than myself for this
task. ;-)
