If dub needs things built earlier and then the D code is used by CMake,
dependency tracking becomes very manual; it's better to have one tool
know the entire build structure here.

Building file-at-a-time is, for developers, on the whole faster than
"unity" builds because you can parallelize it and only have to build
what changed.
CMake only really works with .d -> .o rules (Java support bends this
AFAIK due to restrictions in javac, but I vastly prefer -j8 over a
single invokation).
