I have no idea how to work Makefiles, but based on the output I have no 
idea why you bother with a Makefile at all. All that seems to happen is 
build C deps, get a relevant list of source files for the platform, pass 
them to dmd. Surely this can be handled in a <10 line shell script for 
the unicies/poxises etc and a slightly longer batch script for windows? 
If you built file by file it might be worth using something more 
sophisticated, but that isn't the case.

If it does more than that then I'd be happy to look into writing the 
equivalent with redo (maybe even look at porting it to D so the build 
script can be written in idiomatic D). Of course if I did port it it'd 
have to be LGPL, writing from scratch could be any license. The minimal 
version that rebuilds everything each time is public domain.
