Awesome! Since raggae has Makefile backend it seems to me that we may 
switch over to raggae and keep generated Makefiles as a transitional 
measure.

Ideally if reggae doesn't depend on Phobos/druntime (e.g. builds with 
-betterC switch) then Makefile has no use at all - builds are completely 
bootstrappable.
