This is a nice work, but I think I would prefer a library over
a tool.
I envision a single package with much of what you've already
built (Target struct, Build template, etc...) that I can simply
import into my own build.d file, and call with rdmd. Maybe
even get it merged into phobos as std.build.
I thought of that during DConf. It's "run this tool that includes
your description and runs the compiler for you" vs "as a library
now I have to build the build generator myself". It didn't seem
to make much sense to me since it'd just be more work.
I could always split the code into libreggae and have the reggae
tool depend on it, but at this point I'm not convinced.
