I claim that we don't even need incremental compilation. It would be 
better if the compiler would scan for dependencies, and if a source 
file has changed, recompile the whole project in one go. This would be 
simple and efficient.

That's precisely what rdmd does.

This looks really good, but I couldn't get it to work. Am I doing 
something wrong?

--- o.d:
module o;

import tango.io.Stdout;

void k() {
    Stdout("foo").newline;
}

--- u.d:
module u;

import o;

void main() {
    k();
}
