I'd certainly like to make it available via dub, but I wasn't 
sure how to set it up. There are two issues. One is that the 
package builds multiple executables, which dub doesn't seem to 
support easily. More problematic is that quite a bit of the test 
suite is run against the executables, which I could automate 
using make, but didn't see how to do it with dub.

If there are suggestions for setting this up in dub that'd be 
great. An example project doing something similar would be really 
helpful.
