Why the compiler dosen't enforce correct module declarations?

Because the plan is to eventually move to DDL.  Once I do that, I have
to go back and remove all of the version statements (that I didn't need
to put there in the first place), since linking will then be done at
runtime.  For now, I'm just using dmd to do DDL's job at compile time.

Also, I'm a damn stubborn bastard about these things: I've found a way
that works for me and I'll be damned if we lets anyone take it away from
usss, my precioussss!

:P
