Needs to be run after all arguments parsing (command line, DFLAGS environment variable and config file) in order to add final flags (such as X86_64 or the CRuntime used).

Parameters:

Param params which target to compile for (set by setTarget())

Modules createModules(ref Strings files, ref Strings libmodules);

Creates the list of modules based on the files provided

Files are dispatched in the various arrays (global.params.{ddocfiles,dllfiles,jsonfiles,etc...}) according to their extension. Binary files are added to libmodules.

Parameters:

Strings `files`	File names to dispatch
Strings `libmodules`	Array to which binaries (shared/static libs and object files) will be appended

Returns:
