Rory... so we meet again.  :)

Looks like a nifty tool. However many projects use wildly different build system's - all mine use make,  some people prefer waf or cmake - or may provide configuration files for one of the vagary of package managers out there's for D that are out there roaming around.

So do you cater for all these mix match of tools out there, or is your focus thise specific to the d tool chain.

Also, only dmd support?
