The lib itself is actually built via a single D module, which imports 
all others. This is then given to Build to construct the library. Thus I 
don't have direct control over the ordering. Having said that, it 
appears Build does something different when the modules are reordered; 
Likely changing the order in which modules are presented to the lib.

By moving things around, I see a change in size on the target executable 
between -4kb to +5kb
