Well, yes, we're moving DMD to D anyway, so we're going to face the
bootstrap problem regardless.

But that's not really what I'm getting at.  My whole point was to have a
"single source of truth" for how to build what needs to be built,
instead of scattering it across 3+ makefiles that need to be maintained
separately.
