That's cool. Together with the other proposals I think we have enough infrastructure ready to solve all problems with module updates and moves. You can also remove that line from dmd.conf and add it only to project configurations with 'legacy' code. Since IDEs like Mono-D already scan available modules in the include paths for imports, this would reduce the noise a bit. -- Marco
