But even the dmd source itself has to be rebuilt every time if you don't

I don't even know if it's a laughing matter or not.
I think it's a makefile matter.
The makefile for dmd doesn't have the dependencies on .h files set up
properly. If a .h file is changed, the thing to do is make clean and
then build.
(Even when I do set up the .h file dependencies right, bit rot creeps in
and wastes my time trying to figure out what went wrong. I just make
clean and rebuild.)
Problem is lack of automation (in this case makdepend). As usual, I have
an optimistic view on the help that automation can bring to our project.
