Ok, this gets me further...great!  Now, I like to develop in Eclipse 
(and the latest Descent version makes this a very compelling option), 
which likes to organize stuff into a src/ and bin/ dir that are sisters, 
like so:

project/
   dsss.conf
   src/
     lib.d
     main.d
   bin/
     lib.obj
     main.obj
     main.exe

I tried 'dsss build --bindir=bin --test' using the unit test example, 
but all the build artifacts ended up in my project/ dir anyway.  Any 
suggestions on how to convince dsss to really use bin/?

Also, putting things in a directory doesn't work out so well.  With a 
dsss.conf that looks like so:

name = test
[src\lib.d]
type = library

I get this:

Clearly, I'm not doing something right, but I'm also not sure what 
"something" is, or "right".
