Ok, I see. Then we would have four different build methods:

* bob.d
* bob.rb
* makefiles
* shell script (don't know if this works)

Not shell script (I wouldn't know how to get it working, don't know shell well 
enough). The Ruby is in a similar situation, but perhaps I can learn enough of 
it to fix it (or someone can step up, it probably works now thanks to your 
efforts). I know enough Makefile to fix that up too if needed.

Same here for me with shell scripts. I almost hate shell scripts as bad as makefiles. You don't have to worry about the Ruby script. I created that one, and it already works for at least Mac OS X. Hopefully it already works on the other platforms.

The reason I created the Ruby script was the chicken and egg problem. I wanted to build the latest version of Tango, they had changed the build script to be written in D. There was no pre-compiled binary for Mac OS X and the build script used the latest version of Tango.

I think Ruby is a great scripting language and it's installed out of the box on Mac OS X.

So, any issues with Ruby script, just let me know.
