dmd automatically builds with imported modules from the std lib, but only them.
rdmd is what you're looking for: see http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/rdmd.html. It will forward dmd's command-line switches correctly. For instance, my dev-time build command is:
	rdmd -w -debug -unittest --build-only -of"%e" "%f"
where %e is source filename with ext, %f without ext.
