+1

My impression of `make` was that it's generating generic target 
files using generic shell commands with generic files as input. I 
didn't know there was special support for languages. That being 
the case, my preference would be:

1. upstream native support
2. additional file with rules for D
3. special D version of `make`

The problem with a separate executable is that it's not only 
extra work for me as the author of a project, but I have to ask 
everyone else who wants to build my code to also install it, 
while a `dlang.mk` can be checked in so the extra work is only 
done once.

In any case, thanks for this work Brian! I hope you can get this 
upstream.
