unit-threaded v0.6.3 - now even easier to use / opt-in

Through the magic of dub, unit-threaded is now easier to include 
in your project, with no need for a hand-written test main file 
anymore. And all because the library can be run as an executable 
by dub. It's an idea that's so obvious in retrospect I don't know 
how it took me this long.

Say you've already got a dub project with unittest blocks and you 
just want them to have names and be run in threads. Easy, just 
have a "unittest" configuration in your dub.json/sdl like so:



     "configurations": [
         ...,
         {
             "name": "unittest",
             "preBuildCommands": ["dub run unit-threaded -c 
gen_ut_main -- -f bin/ut.d"],
             "mainSourceFile": "bin/ut.d",
             "excludedSourceFiles": "src/main.d",
             "dependencies": {
                 "unit-threaded": "~>0.6.3"
             }
         }


Now run "dub test" and enjoy the results. If you want "real" 
names then add a string UDA to your unittest blocks. And.... 
that's it. You might not even need to exclude the module with the 
main function if said function is versioned out for unit test 
builds.

If you want to use the library's other features you'll have to 
import it but that's easily versioned as well:

version(unittest) {
     import unit_threaded;
}

Enjoy!
