Here's a few more suggestions:

dmdbuild - Digital Mars D Build(er)
dsbuild - D Source Build(er)

dmerge - Merge D sources togather
dprism - gathers all D sources into one focal-point executable
deploy - build D sources for deployment
dpkg   - Package together D sources

Heh... I don't think many Debian users will like that one (Google it unless that was a joke)

no, a search for the dbuild package don't give anything. http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?suite=all&subword=1&exact=&arch=any&section=all&case=insensitive&keywords=debuild&searchon=names

but there is a debuild package.

dpkg is the base of the Debian package management system

Opps! I was just brain-storming a few names (as Derek had ask us to do)...I didn't really check Google on it. Thanks, for pointing it out.

Here are some...

Thesaurus.com + lame 'd' naming scheme, remove D for a unique name...

* d-construct
* d-raise
* d-rear
* d-synth
* d-velop (DeeVelop aka develop)
* d-wax
* d-amass
* d-chunk
* d-horde
* d-heap
* d-annex
* d-beef
* d-sweet

Microsoft Naming Scheme...
* Xbuild
* Xdevelop
* xena
* xbuild3.14 (hey, it worked for xbox360, substitute any number that is 'cool' and 'hip')
* xotus (exodus)
* xdbuild #

Unique names...
* snowball
* avalanche
* gather
* bigbang
* ehorizon (event horizon)

That's all I can think of for now.
