Essentially, yes.

I would like this, and the D community too, I suppose. I will turn it over
when I don't see any more immediate improvements and I have
documented what I feel need documenting.

The dmd compiler complains.

Hmm, I know what I meant, but I'm not able to reproduce completely
with a minimal example.

I have tried to make a good minimal example to test this stuff, but I think
that something don't work somewhere, quite possible in my recipes.

The 'project' have this structure:

main.aap
bar.d
/foodir
    main.aap
    subbar.d

/foodir/main.aap looks like this:

Source = subbar.d
_top.subbar_obj = `src2obj(Source)`
all: $_top.subbar_obj

In the first test, main.aap looked like this:

:child foodir/main.aap
:program foo : bar.d
                       foodir/$*subbar_obj

Running aap, gave the log attached as 'log1'

Then I removed the created object files and changed main.aap:

:child foodir/main.aap
:dll foo :   bar.d
               foodir/$*subbar_obj

Running aap now, gave the log attached as 'dlllog'
