Or add a -I parameter to DFLAGS, whichever one finds easiest ?

For the Mac universal binaries I just installed Tango imports
in the compiler folder and the Tango runtime as "libgphobos.a"
Then it's only a matter of setting the required variants and
including the user library "libgtango.a", even without build.

Using a build tool helps with other things like including all
object files and such, but it isn't strictly *required* either.
I included both a GNU Makefile and a dsss.conf too, so the user
can choose whichever system that they are most comfortable with.

When installing in an alternative location outside the search
dirs, then adding the -I and -L parameters is pretty standard...
This is the same as in C / C++, so the only question is whether
that behaviour is the "good old" or if it is just "legacy" ;-)

I do believe that Tango should install in the regular directories,
so that one doesn't need any extra -I or -L for it, but that's me.
