I filed this bug because dub was using relative paths and ended up trying to
link to
..\..\..\..\..\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\dub\packages\package-name-version\package-name.

Before the fix, if the dub path with several .. was too large (which happened
often), nothing would work. Now, it does.

It's possible that passing in an absolute path is different. I would still say
that it's a new bug.
