I'd say somewhere around 10% of the time I've spent on D pull 
requests has been wasted because of the makefiles. It is a 
barrier to entry in new contributors adding new modules.

Though, I think it is just because the ones in there are 
overcomplicated and crappy. My ideal makefile is less than ten 
lines long and I see no reason why dmd, phobos, druntime, and the 
  dlang.org website can't get close to that. Heck, `dmd **/*.d` 
almost actually works...
