I want to replace those with D scripts for a reason.
Now that dmd is dependent on an existing version of dmd to build, it
should be no problem to replace the makefiles with D code. Everytime
something like this happens I just see all the flaws of makefiles all
over again, but unfortunately some people just refuse the acknowledge
that makefiles are going the way of the dinosaur and it's time to move
on.
A thought: any makefile replacement should make sure there's an
equivalent to "-j".
My personal feeling: the build is really low on the priority list no
matter how you sort it - except "least impact stuff first" :o) - and
replacing makefiles with even the perfect solution won't improve
anything measurably.
Atila: "make clean" should work. Must have been something weird on your
system.
