edit: couldn't find that flag in dmd --help (only -Ipath), atleast I know what it does now, hope I'll remember..

The switch itself is -I, not -Ipath. 'path' indicates a parameter for which you need to substitute something, in this case a directory path. It should be the root folder for the source modules you want to add to the search path. In this case, for artemisd, the source files are in the 'source' directory, so -Isource is what you pass to dmd. If the directory were named 'foo' instead, you would pass -Ifoo.

Remember rdmd is just a program to help collect and organise parameters. It still passes everything to dmd. In fact if you use the --chatty option with rdmd it will show you everything it is doing including what it is passing to dmd.
