Hm, the description sounds like it might not be used for passing
linker arguments, but serves for adding documentation to linker
errors:
"A textual description of the required system dependencies
(external C libraries)
required by the package. This will be visible on the registry
and will be
displayed in case of linker errors - this setting does not
support platform
suffixes".
What about the "libs" build settings (or "lflags")?
(http://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json)
"libs": "clang"
