Hello Dirk,
First of all I've to excuse  myself  for answering that late , I need 
that weekend to do some home impovements.

Unfortunately the D compiler has no switch to output dependency 
information. So your perl script  can't help.
That's why I am looking for an alternate build tool like OMake.
My fault : I have to be more precise. So:
What I'd like to have is a single build tool which is powerfull enough 
to do the job without the need for additional scripting languages, and 
without requireing a long chaine of tools like GNU for instance. further 
D code can be ansi, utf87 and utf16  and even beeing embedded into HTML.
OMake seems "regardless the problems"  to be a good choice and   I still 
wonder whether built-in awk is fast and good enough to do the job.
Fast and good enough, because we are going to port the Eclipse SWT stuff 
into D (we have a pretty useable alpha right now) but I guess you can 
imagine that an approved build utility is more than welcome.

//Beside our current build tool is using the complete compiler front 
end, which is, simply said, Overkill

Thanks for your help Dirk;

Off topic.
Have seen your web site. I am working on a realtime 
developer-collaboration IDE, using RDBMS  instead of traditionell SCMs 
like CVS,Mercurial etc.
as said based on a database +async. communication... to enable pair or 
multi pair realtime programming/communication. In case that it is a 
matter of interrest, just contact me. I speak german and french, and as 
you may have noticed, a pretty lousy english. :(
