Hi, 

  Can you tell me how you used incremental build with Makefiles? I 
don't know much about D1, but it most likely has similar module and 
build support as D2. I have been playing around with incremental build 
with dmd today (I couldn't find good info on the web). My solution was 
to use a makefile as well, but it required some advanced techniques, 
such as:

- dmd compiler's -deps option to find out what are the dependencies of 
a module, which required simple post processing 
- GNU make's auto-dependency generation capabilities (mostly the 
ability to generate dependency stuff during make and at the same time 
include them into the makefile)

I have too worries about this:
1) Requires experience with make and DMD, not easily gained through 
reading documentation
2) GNU make is not easily available on all platforms

If you have a solution that is more straightforward please let me 
know.

Also: How much time it takes for you to do a wholesale compilation 
versus incremental (say after changing a single file)?
