The up side to file based packaging is that the compiler can find the files 
without needing extra information. There are several tools that can build 
a project from nothing but a set of .d files. With the c# type of system, 
the compiler/build system needs to have a metadata file that list all the 
.d files to be built adding yet another piece of redundant complexity.

The c# solution works well if you will *only* develop from the IDE but is 
a total pain as soon as you need to work with non-language aware tools.
