I am not asking you to use make :)

I just need to verify that you have everything in place
you are dealing with problems of build utility
and not with Harmonia itself.

This is a bit different story, eh?

OT: I would suggest to grab VS 6 somewhere if you don't like makefiles.
There is a .dsw file - workspace file for VS (release and debug modes 
supported)

I beleive it is a bad idea to put any templated stuff in phobos.

I think that build.exe is too smart here.
It should not include anything non referenced from modules of the project.
Or at least it should be some command line options for saying that.
