You copied the action for the "c" filetype, right?  Then you need to
remove the check for "COMPILE_ACTION".  Or rename it to
"D_COMPILE_ACTION".

The idea is that the default action works on most platforms.  Like the
"cc" programs can mostly be used to compile a C program.  The tools are
for setting up the compiler on a specific platform.


I have wondered if this variable would have to be called
"C_COMPILE_ACTION".  But the same variable is used for C++, since it is
usuallly the same compiler.  Hmm, perhaps we should use
CXX_COMPILE_ACTION for that, since the tool can set both variables.

Changing this would be incompatible with Aap version 1.0, and I promised
not to make incompatible changes.  Opinions?
