digitalmars.D.learn - How to share 'version' info between files

How can you share version information between several modules?

I have several switches that I want to set which would be overkill to set all on
the command line. So I created a single file that all the others import, which
would wonderfully except the compiler ignores version information from other
modules. I would love to use 'static if' if not for it being useless at the
module level :-|

Anyone solved this problem?

--- config.d ---
version=MMX;
version=FastBlit;
version=...

--- several other files ---
import config;

The issue cropped up a while back:

A workaround is to have a configuration file and use the   command line 
syntax.  For example

----- version.cmd -----
version=qwert
version=yuiop
-----------
dmd  version.cmd module.d

or something like this....

Hmm :-| Thank you.

After reading your "version import" suggestion, I really wish that was
implemented.

How about declaring constants that are not used _in actual_ code, but 
which are tested with static ifs?

Only problem with that is that static ifs can't be used at the module level.
