Huh. The Andrei I remember approved the migration away from the 
DigitalMars Makefiles multiple times.

On the contrary, there are plans to expand build.d for 
druntime+phobos and the only reason it didn't happen is because I 
myself consider Phobos as low priority to maintain as it's 
basically frozen/dead code.

Anyhow, PRs for build.d at druntime/phobos would be merged if 
someone is interested in this.
