I strongly agree, please consider adding it to the compiler, I 
had enough of insane build systems for one lifetime, the only 
buildsystem I need is "dmd -i"

If you feel there is a need for a more modular aproach, then I'd 
rather see the posibility of adding "end user developed" dynamic 
library plugins to the compiler instead, that aproach can also 
spur creativity from outside developers just as well as separate 
tools can.
