Yeah, but I haven't seen any other project that is actually dependent on the name of its own folder.
So if you have ideas on how to improve the above - great! Just don't fall for Chesterton's fence fallacy.
One solution that instantly pops in my mind is using git submodules. Create a new repository, say "dlang", add the other repositories as git submoduels to "dlang". Then the build system can do whatever it wants in the "dlang" directory and its sub directories, but it shouldn't escape the "dlang" directory.
Since Make is one of the worst thing I know, I'm not very enthusiastic about improving the build system.
