Also I think this needs to be made into a Git multi-module project so
that the cloning and update pulling of the repositories is handled
automatically by Git.

I have rewritten the script to handle symbolic links and cleaning but
this still leaves a problem with one of the components which insists on
an exact relative position of components as real directories. This means
there are too many assumptions in the DMD/Druntime/Phobos build for it
to be considered stable.

Whilst I think SCons can easily handle all this better than the Make
scripts currently there, I have no intention of promoting that solution
as I realize many want to promote a D-based build solution for C, C++, D
systems.

Also of course, I am a n00b to the build of DMD/Druntime/Phobos and so
have no right to have strong opinions :-)  What I can say is that the
current system isn't really up to scratch for someone wading in to it
from scratch.
