[Issue 7016] local import does not create -deps dependency

[via Digitalmars-d-bugs]

--- Comment #27 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305 at gmail.com> ---
Running semantic3 recursively on dependencies will end up in an infinite loop
when there are circular imports. So, I propose the following solution:

-> the current -deps implementation should remain untouched and this will print
   all the direct dependencies.
-> add another compiler flag: "-rdeps" (or maybe a more inspired name) which
   will recurs through all the dependencies, excluding druntime or phobos
imports.
   The rationale behind this is that both druntime and phobos have circular
imports
   which will cause the recursive implementation to fail; also having just 1
phobos
   import will lead to a cascade of imports which will be hard to follow.

Any better ideas?
