Thanks very much for this - I need it for the build tool I am working on.

I just added a --makedepend flag to rdmd:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/commit/451ffed8ff985465a52124f7671494ac1d3744b4
It instructs rdmd to simply print to stdout the name of the input file
followed by a colon and then by the space-separated files that the
input file depends on, directly or indirectly. Example:
// file test1.d;
import test2.d;
// file test2.d;
import test3.d, mylib.test4.d;
With this setup, assuming test3.d and test4.d contain no further
non-system imports, the command:
rdmd --makedepend test1.d
will print
test1.d : ./test2.d ./mylib/test4.d ./test3.d
This flag is intended to be useful to larger-scale build tools that
need to store and track module interdependencies. In the simplest use
case, directing the output of rdmd --makedepend (for each of a
project's root files) to a file and then including that file in a
makefile will ensure that dependencies are properly maintained.
Cheers,
Andrei
