I took a stab at using D as a scripting language for building packages in DDL. The result is a single support file (Script.d) that pulls in all the needed parts of phobos while filtering parts of common operations (file paths, extensions, etc) for platform compatibility.

I'm pretty happy with the result, as it let me throw out my .bat files. :)
