For those who don't know, reggae is a meta-build system for and
in D. It's like CMake, if you replace their terrible language
with D*. Like CMake, it can output make and ninja files. Unlike
CMake, it can also output tup files and has its own binary
generator in case the dependency on one of those programs is
undesired. Also unlike CMake, it supports dub projects
out-of-the-box by using dub as a library.

I spent a some time getting a part of my project to build with
Reggae & so far I am impressed, The partial compiles are really
good, I am looking forward to switching!
My largest complaint is that Reggae needs improvements to it's
documentation, there was enough of it for me to get started and I
can figure it out, but I do not feel that anyone can just jump
right into using it. But this is not a unique problem especially
with build systems, so this is a nitpick.
