Why not use D for that full-blown language? I know you insist on using Ruby, and I fail to grasp why we'd have D users learn Ruby in addition to D, when D is presumably already installed (since this is all about building D programs!) and D is as convenient for build scripting as Ruby.
I still think it's possible to have a smaller, less verbose and more simplistic build scripts written in Ruby. BUT I would choose a proper build tool with build scripts written in D any day over having to use shell scripts or your special kind of comments.
