support using a pre-built scala

That should not be a problem: 1) the binaries that are compiled by dbuild can optionally be published (in its own format) to a central repository, and retrieved from there. Therefore, once a certain version of Scala (or another project) is built from the source by dbuild, it can be published to that repository, and subsequent runs will just fetch the binaries and metadata from there, without the need to recompile. In addition: 2) I just added a new Ivy-based "build system" to dbuild: rather than compiling from source, you can also now specify that you want a certain library dependency resolved against the standard Maven/Ivy repositories: dbuild will grab the pre-built binary from there, while still checking and rewriting the various dependencies. This new feature is coming up in the next point release, due by the end of this week.
