After all this preamble I guess what I'm asking is... what (if any)
cross-platform build tools does everyone use with their D projects? Any
feedback on experiences with any of the build tools I've mentioned is
also greatly appreciated. If you can suggest any alternatives, please do.
I'm certainly biased because I wrote it, but I use cdc for all of my D
building. At one point it was working with dmd1, dmd2, gdc1, and ldc on
windows and linux (I don't own a mac) with tango or phobos. But it's
been a while since I've tested it.

It accepts the same arguments and works the same as dmd except it also
accepts folder names for arguments, compiling in all .d files it finds
there. And it's a single file, making it script friendly. You can do
something like this:
dmd -run cdc.d project_folder -of../bin/myproject.exe
cdc.d also has a nicely organized api for easily creating your own build
script. I use this with Yage for building derelict into a lib in order
to reduce compilation time. See the main function in this file. The
rest is unmodified from the cdc project:
