Automated rebuilding on program startup: tools.remake

[Saaa]

Instead of running build/bud you could run your old program to rebuild 
itself?

>I just committed tools/remake.d. What it does in a nutshell is this:

>  checkRemake(args, "path/to/source/file.d");
>
> checkRemake invokes gdc (or a compiler of choice, via string Compiler), in 
> verbose mode, to generate a list of imports, then filters out Phobos files 
> (that part could probably use some work). Then it checks each of those 
> files to see if they're newer than the corresponding obj/ file, and if 
> yes, rebuilds them.
>
> Finally, if any object files were rebuilt, it links a new binary, calls 
> the destructors, and invokes it.
