  Yes, pull request is approved. This is exactly what I was hoping 
to find. I also recommend this to others who have this problem. 
It takes some time to install required packages so build was much 
longer than dmd and lcd builds but I think it's not a problem for 
most cases.

Thanks to everyone who answered!
