Also I don't see any point in yet another meta build system. The very point of initial discussion was about getting D only cross-platform solution that won't require installing any additional software but working D compiler.
I was also thinking of a binary backend (producing a binary executable that does the build, kinda like what ctRegex does but for builds), and also something that just builds it on the spot.
The thing is, I want to get feedback on the API first and foremost, and delegating the whole do-I-or-do-I-not-need-to-build-it logic to programs that already do that (and well) first was the obvious (for me) choice.
Also, Ninja is _really_ fast.
