This "D" programming language is great because it obviates make.
Ok, now about make's ability to switch compilers without having to edit
config files?
I don't do it that way. I can't imagine when you would mix D1 and D2 in
a single build.
Instead, I have a set of trivial scripts to change the symlink for the
'dmd' directory. Nothing else needs to be aware of the compiler
version. From then on, I just use bud.
I'll be pretty annoyed if the D2 compiler changes its name to DMD2.
My opinion is that the best way forward is to have dmd1, dmd2, and a
symlink called dmd to one or the other. That way in a makefile you can
explicitly request for one or the other if you want, but you don't have
to: you can switch at will.
