That can be made to work on Unixen but not on Windows, where the 
wildcard must be expanded inside rdmd.

It doesn't work right now on Unixen because rdmd considers everything 
following the first non-flag argument, an argument to the program 
itself, not an argument for rdmd. That doesn't make sense with -lib so 
things can be easily arranged to obtain the right semantics.
