I think I may not have explained correctly: version blocks are the way
of dealing with platform specific features, basically a compilation
switch on Windows, Linux OSX, etc. My problem is about embedding the
application version number in the application. E.g 0.0.0-SNAPSHOT being
in the executable and available to the build system to create the
packages. If I create a D variable this is fine for the D executable but
not accessible to the build system.
