There's far more to a build system than generating executables. And there's more 
to generating executables than D source files (there may be C files in there, 
and C++ files, YACC files, and random other files).

Heck, dmd uses C code to generated more .c source files. I've seen more than one 
fabulous build system that couldn't cope with that.

Make is the C++ of build systems. It may be ugly, but you can get it to work.
