That would be very useful. Keep in mind that many would like to 
have several targets installed at the same time so that you don't 
have to have a separate ldc directory for each target. As 
mentioned using ldc -mtriple=x-y-z will just take another target 
than the default one and automatically choose the right libraries 
and import paths.

BTW, why is LDC using -mtriple when clang is using --target?
