and what enterprise don't like is sharing. ah, sorry, i'm wrong, they
really LOVE sharing. but under "sharing" they understand "you giving us
everything we want and we telling you to GTFO".

actually, with introducing ".dpu"s (heh, it's "D parsed/prepared unit")
d compiler can be used as build tool, just like delphi compiler. and it
will be lightning fast, especially if we will keep generated .o files
along with .dpu files. we can even generate some kind of bytecode for
CTFE (but i'm not sure if it really worth the efforts).

i like fast build times too, but there are alot of work involved and i
don't see the urgent need in this feature. but any enterprise guy who
needs it is free to hire me. my salary will not be that big if they'll
take into account how much money and time they will save with my
work. ;-)
