You can pick up the latest version of Build from

   http://www.dsource.org/projects/build/wiki

If you use this, please do not overwrite the earlier version until you  
have tested this one out on your system. There is a big change with how it  
calls the linker and I'm not sure I've got the Linux code correct as I  
haven't tested it in that environment.


The main changes are ...

** FIX: The default Build Response File invoked when just placing '@' on  
the command line is now correctly named "build.brf"

** ENH: For Windows environments, command line files can now use either  
"/" or "\" as path separator characters.

** ENH: The linker program is now used directly rather than being invoked  
via DMD.
  ((I've only tested this with Windows and I'm not sure it will work yet in  
Linux))

** ENH: You can now specify the default linker switches in the Build  
Configuration File.

** ENH: Using the new switch -PP , you can now specify additional paths to  
search for files.

** ENH: Support for Ddoc files.

** CHG: The files are now compiled and linked in the same order that they  
are scanned in. Previously the order depended on the hashing algorithm of  
D's associative array implementation and the names of the directories  
containing the source files.

** CHG: The "-run" switch renamed to "-exec" to avoid clashing with dmd.
