Description

Here's the tree that approximates a typical DSSS build process on Windows: 

 DSSS build
 -> CMD
    -> rebuild ... -testversion=GNU
       -> DMD -c rebuild_tmp.d
 -> CMD
    -> rebuild ... -testversion=DigitalMars
       -> DMD -c rebuild_tmp.d
 -> CMD
    -> rebuild ... -shlib-support
       -> DMD -c rebuild_tmp.d
 -> CMD
    -> rebuild -rfProjectName.ext.rf
       -> DMD -c rebuild_tmp.d
       -> CMD 
          -> dmd @link.rf
             -> link @_CMDLINE

It would be preferred to reduce the number of spawned processes: by combining and/or caching flag tests, by spawning rebuild directly (and not via CMD), etc.
