BTW, I don't think it should be limited to just passing a
url to the helper program.

I'd do it something like this:

dget module.name url_from_pragma

I still don't like the url being stored in the source file -- where *specifically* on the network to get the file has nothing to do with compiling the code, and fixing a path problem shouldn't involve editing a source file -- there is too much risk.

For comparison, you don't have to specify a full path to the compiler of where to get modules, they are specified relative to the configured include paths. I think this model works well, and we should be able to re-use it for this purpose also. You could even just use urls as include paths:

-Ihttp://www.dsource.org/projects/dcollections/import

-Steve
