as I find some time for it. I'll then also put up some

to set it up and notes for some features that they are part of
vibedist.

The deps file was just checked in accidentially and is only a
left-over
of rdmd. I think rdmd in it's current version does not leave
the file
there after compilation so it should be normal that you don't
see it now.

Great to hear that. Another suggestion would be to introduce a
comiler flag DEVELOPMENT_MODE. When compiled with this flag
enabled it would read template files from the file system and
interpret them at runtime. It will be more convenient for
developepment process, because changing of a template file won't
lead to recompiling of the whole app.
