 DSSS seems like a great tool, but only a very small subset of available D
libraries are installable via it. I can see it turning into something like
CPAN, where you can easily get a module and its required dependencies, without
really having to worry about version compatibility, etc, etc. ANy ideas on why
it's not more widely used?

I too am interested in DSSS. I'm a bit of a perfectionist... I've spent closer to 80 hours just tinkering with the architecture of Walnut 2.x; my issue would be with version control as well. I would need it to allow me to produce several executables from the same source - a batch interpreter, an interactive interpreter, a dll com server jscript replacement, and a dll/lib spidermonkey replacement. All of those ought to use the same sources. Is that possible?

I'd like that feature too. In addition, I have scripts that generate d files. Before I can get rid of my trusty makefiles, I need something to allow me to do that easily.
 
 Is that possible?
