Turns out this is easy with Meson and SCons. Dub is giving some issues.

Interesting alternative to DStep. I came to D to avoid #include, but…
I'll give it a whirl once I can get it compiled on Debian Sid. It seems
the libclang-dev package does not install a libclang.so symbolic link,
you have to be explicit about which version you want, e.g. libclang-
6.0.so on my Debian Sid installation.
