          Issue ID: 15337
           Summary: Make Funkwerk's depend a part of the standard tools
                    distribution
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: tools
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: andrei erdani.com

Funkwerk has a tool (https://github.com/funkwerk/depend) for showing
dependencies in D projects.

This task entails:

1. Relicensing the work under Boost

2. Make the tool easier to use, e.g. have it run dmd automatically if needed
etc.

3. Integrate the tool within the tools/ repository and make it part of the
standard dmd distribution.

Good tooling has been a huge asset for Go - we could take a page from their
book.
