I suppose you mean that you now added an action for "compile_dmd" and
that made it work.

For your own work this would not be needed.  But if this module is added
to the Aap distribution it becomes relevant.

Do you mean that using ".sob" does not work?  This is a fake suffix,
used to separate the object compiled for use in a dll from the same file
compiled for linking in a program.  What is the error you get when using
".sob"?

Anyway, if your module for using the "d" language now works, I would be
interested in seeing it.  I intend to write a chapter in the
documentation about adding a new language (possibly together with
Adriaan, who is working on :import).  It would be good if we can use a
real-life example.

Do you mean the "file.c.aap" file that contains the automatically
generated dependencies?
