Yeah, I gave up on MonoD to try and figure out what is going on 
behind the scenes by compiling with text files... I had a little 
success compiling, followed by a failure to run because I don't 
have the right version of GTK+ on my system...

Then I thought I'd learn dub.  Well, this is NOT going well... I 
did a git clone of gtk-d, then tried to build with dub (renamed 
the package.json to dub.json), and it told me "Conflicting 
package multi-reference".... I have no clue and I've tried 
removing package references

I tried "dub remove gtk-d --version=*" but it just lists out 
excuses why it can't work... "no retrieval journal found for...", 
"Untracked file found"....

So then I try every variation of "dub remove-local" and "dub 
remove-path" I can think of.

I give up.  Why not just have a "dub 
-IFuckedUpSoLetsStartOverCleanSlated" option?
