Any plans for GDC to get DMD's -i option?

Ran into the same problem when trying to write a separate 
Makefile for compiling with GDC. Maybe one of the `-M` family 
switches can be used to emulate the -i behavior:

```
`-M'
      Output the module dependencies of all source files being 
compiled
      in a format suitable for `make'.  The compiler outputs one 
`make'
      rule containing the object file name for that source file, a
      colon, and the names of all imported files.

`-MM'
      Like `-M' but does not mention imported modules from the D 
standard
      library package directories.

`-MF FILE'
      When used with `-M' or `-MM', specifies a FILE to write the
      dependencies to.  When used with the driver options `-MD' or
      `-MMD', `-MF' overrides the default dependency output file.
