DSSS actually uses bud.

If there's a bud configuration file, it's as easy as:

dsss build <bud-config-file>

Or, you can:

dsss build <source-file-with-main-function>

OR, you can make a dsss.conf, which is really quite simple:

name=tool_name
[some_source_file_with_main.d]
[some_package_to_make_a_library]

etc, etc


The main problem is, since bu[il]d provides no conventions for the 
actual /installation/ of software, any method short of making a 
dsss.conf can only allow you to compile it, not install it. If that's 
all you need, there's your solution.
