I wonder if there's any technical reason why Walter couldn't just dump 
DMD make in favor of gmake.  Other than that DMD make is his baby.

The DMC build of wxWidgets is also screwed up because of the limited 
make that comes with the DMC compiler.  But they insist on using it 
rather than gmake for the same reason as you -- because if you have dmc, 
you're guaranteed to have dmc's make.
