-I just tells it where to look for imports, not what to link. The linker never 
links in anything unless you explicitly tell it to - either by having it 
directly on the command line or in DFLAGS (usually set by dmd.conf on Linux 
and sc.ini or Windows). Phobos is listed in dmd.conf/sc.ini, which is why it 
gets linked in. If it wasn't there, you'd have to list it explicitly too.
