zip packages to pack modules

[tcak via Digitalmars-d]

I brought this feature front before in the forum in someone 
else's post, but it didn't take much attention probably at that 
time.

I want to propose a feature for front-end of the compiler.


The basic definition of feature
===============================
ZIP pack the D module files, and while calling the compiler (dmd, 
gdc, ldc) together with other D source codes, give the zip file. 
The compiler, before doing anything, extracts the modules (and 
sees directories as D package) into a temporary directory or 
memory, and includes those files in the compilation process.


Use Case
========
* Include libraries in a project in one step.
* Versioning is much easier. Programmer creates a library with 
many modules in it. ZIP packs them, and gives a version number to 
it in filename. No more changes will be made on it. (This is my 
#1 reasoning)
* Work of newcomers can be eased.


Why not DUB?
============
I have never use DUB ever, and not planning to use it. Nobody 
else has to use it as well. I don't think anyone should be forced 
for this. The proposed feature allows to simplify downloading 
packages and using them in a projects very quickly and easily 
without needing any tool.


What are the thoughts about this?
