I just want to give you a warning about incremental compilation.
Currently it doesn't work out that well in D due to various reasons. You
can search the newsgroups archive for extended posts about this. But to
mention some of the reasons:
DMD doesn't output all symbols to all object files resulting in missing
symbols when doing incremental compilation. I think it's mostly template
symbols that cause problems. I've heard that using the -lib flag, DMD
will output all symbols to all object files.
Since header/import files are rarely used in D you often need to
recompile quite many files even if you only do localized changes,
specially compared to C/C++ using header files.
