The experimental repository is at https://github.com/russel/SCons_D_Exp
eriment
Even though SCons is a Mercurial world, the D world is a Git/GitHub
one. Given that Atlassian have turned BitBucket into a Git place to
compete with GitHub, I could push it to BitBucket as well, but I am not
sure the dilution would achieve anything.

In the end I created a Subclass of SCons.Node.FS.File focussing on
representing the library archive created, but carrying lots of other
knowledge. I eventually settled on calling the superclass constructor
at the end of the subclass constructor (don't you just love Python :-)
thus:

SCons.Node.FS.File.__init__(self, name, env.Dir(location), self)

but I am really not sure that last argument is right. It works but it
doesn't feel right. However there is no documentation on the fs
parameter that I can find. I think maybe I am just not looking hard
enough.
