all.d file generator

[Clay Smith]

Hi,

I just wanted to post about a little side project of mine that I was 
able to successfully use in my own project. I wrote a little program 
that, given a project source path, will generate appropriate all.d 
files. To my knowledge, no other code like this exists.

http://svn.dsource.org/projects/arclib/trunk/codingtools/alldgenerator/alldgenerator.d

You can browse my source to see what the generated all.d files look 
like: http://www.dsource.org/projects/arclib/browser/trunk/arc

The code is kind of ugly, but I wrote it for utility. I've tested it on 
derelict/ , arc/ , phobos std/ , and tango / (just this night). 
Unfortunately when I tested it on tango, I learned it has a critical bug 
in that if there are two subdirectories with the same name, one of those 
directories will import non-existant files from the other directory 
thinking that they are in its current directory. I'll get around to 
fixing this bug eventually, as I only learned of it tonight.

The reason for this utility is that I wanted all.d files for my project, 
but do not have the time or desire to maintain them as the project 
changes and grows. So, I came up with a solution to automatically 
generate all.d files for me and save me hours from working on a mundane 
task.

My hope is that this will inspire others into the virtue of all.d file 
generation, namely DSSS and build, or that someone out there may find it 
useful.
