Brenton:
How would you recommend I do something like this with D?
In D compile-time constants are introduced using the "enum" keyword.
You can also use the "-version=..." compiler switch to compile your D code according to some version, that can be a number or identifier.
In D there isn't the "-D" switch of gcc, so you can do something similar putting your string into a little textual file, and importing it inside the module using mixin(import("myfilename.txt")) statement plus the -Imypathname compiler switch.
