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.

Not sure whether shipping this by default is still a good idea given that accessing dub packages is so easy nowadays.
