Yes, of course:

        type.register DTRACE_SCRIPT : d ;
        generators.register-composing dtrace.build : DTRACE_SCRIPT OBJ : DTRACE_OBJ ;

appear to clearly state that the dtrace.build generator accepts the .d source.
I have no logic to grab the .d source and put it in the right place on the
command line, prepended by -s, but that should be easy.

You can also define new feature, like dtrace-script, and use it to pass the
name of the script to the generator. This might be a bit cleaner than
fishing the .d source by a code.
