Well, I worked this into my setup program. It changes ldc2.conf 
so then you can just

         dub build --compiler=ldc2 -a i386-none-linux-android
         @mv libdubtest.so BasicActivity/app/src/main/jniLibs/x86 
|| true
         #
         dub build --compiler=ldc2 -a armv7a-none-linux-android
         @mv libdubtest.so 
BasicActivity/app/src/main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a || true
         #
         dub build --compiler=ldc2 -a x86_64-none-linux-android
         @mv libdubtest.so 
BasicActivity/app/src/main/jniLibs/x86_64 || true
         #
         dub build --compiler=ldc2 -a aarch64-none-linux-android
         @mv libdubtest.so 
BasicActivity/app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a || true

I really wish dub had a way to specify the output directory on 
its command line which would eliminate the need for those ugly mv 
commands :(

but meh now it works without the helper programs - just a setup 
step.



Meanwhile, I wrote a class/jar -> D interface converter and it 
works beautifully. Alas, dmd is giving me "forward reference" 
errors in there :(

so the crtp trick is triggering a bunch of internal compiler bugs.

ugh.
