Oh, I know what the problem is now. You need to pass the -I flags before 
the hello.d file.

RDMD works like this: all flags passed before the D file will be passed 
to the compiler. All flags passed after the D file will be passed to the 
compiled application when it's run.

All projects on Github have a link to a zip download, for DWT it's: 
https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt/archive/master.zip

I have no idea if that will include the submodules or not.

Ideally we will one day have a package manager for D making this much 
easier.
