I tried, but couldn't get the cable through the security check. :-)

I notice you use Global.aap_toolsdir.  That didn't exist yet!  I'll add
it to Global.py.  To be consistent I'll also add aap_modulesdir.

Apparently the compiler produces these files without asking.  It's OK to
delete them.  Just make sure the compiler won't overwrite something.

To make sure failure in compiling the program is detected, I suggest
using this:

	# If not downloaded, build it from local copy.
	:progsearch _top.DDEPCHECK ddepcheck

	@if not _top.DDEPCHECK:
	    bindir = "`Global.aap_bindir`"
	    toolsdir = "`Global.aap_toolsdir`"
	    :mkdir {force} $bindir
	    :print ddepcheck not found, building from: $toolsdir/ddepcheck.d
	    :progsearch dc dmd
	    :sys $dc -O -of$bindir`os.sep`ddepcheck$EXESUF $toolsdir`os.sep`ddepcheck.d
	    :del {q} ddepcheck$OBJSUF ddepcheck.map 
	    :progsearch _top.DDEPCHECK ddepcheck
	    @if not _top.DDEPCHECK:
		:error Building ddepcheck failed or the program cannot be found.

Now, there is one remaining problem: Aap may be installed on the system
and the directories are not writable by a normal user.  The best
solution I can think of is to offer the user a choice:

	- become root and install ddepcheck globally (using :asroot)
	- install for the current user only (in $HOME/bin)
	- quit


BTW: Is there a Vim syntax highlighting file for the D language?
