Simple I know, but could use some help compiling with make

Or to make it a little cleaner:

@echo off

IMPORT = -IC:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\import
LIB_PATHS = -L+C:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\lib\
LIB_INCLUDES = DerelictSDL.lib DerelictGL.lib DerelictUtil.lib 
DerelictGLU.lib
EXE_NAME = myApp

rdmd --build-only -of%EXE_NAME% %IMPORT% %LIB_PATHS% %LIB_INCLUDES% 
src/main.d

Of course, you can use rdmd with make too, but I've never really liked 
dealing with make.
