Yesterday I thought about it and now I believe that if you change sha1 
to sha256 or vice versa then dub just rebuild all because sha1 and 
sha256 has different sizes so cached hashes will be different to 
calculated ones and collisions are impossible. No need to support mixed 
mode. The drawback is total rebuild on algorithm changing but I suppose 
it will be seldom operation. Another way is to having several hashes 
simultaneously and select one of them depending on option value. 
Implementation of this will be simple.
