Ok considering bud is cross platform and is quite easy to use I don't see why 
a bud script can be used and maintained as well as a makefile for those who 
don't have bud installed.
This is how I feel about it anyhow, since it seems bud is a 3rd party tool and 
is not officially part of the dmd/gdc toolkit.
