Mir needs different project be builded in deferent modes.
For example GLAS requires
	--build-mode=singleFile --compiler=ldmd2.
Other package may require to be builded with other modes and 
other compiler. But a user program may use any compiler and 
compilation mode. This is possible for libraries with extern(C) 
interface.

This does not work for Mir GLAS. Mir GLAS should be builded as a 
C library with extern D interface.

preGenerateCommands/preBuildCommands generates different binaries 
for different compilation modes and different compilers which 
would not work for Mir GLAS.

For example: two project that should be linked into a single 
library.

What do you mean?
