I don't think it's right to add a build tool to the compiler. There can be a standard built tool even if it's not in the compiler.
I mean, DSSS was basically the standard build tool back in the D1 days. Unfortunately it's not maintained any more. One problem with DSSS was that it used its own copy of the DMD front end. This was before the compiler got the "-deps" swithc, which is what RDMD uses.
It doesn't help that the compiler is poorly designed/structured with no regard to support third party tools using the compiler as a library.
