Even better option is to just use "libs" section as usual(no 
paths, just names) and set environment variable specific to your 
machine prior to build.
For MS linker it is 'LIB' with semicolon as delimiter, for Linux 
it is 'LIBRARY_PATH'.

This way it is much more 'portable' and CI friendly, though it 
definitely will add confusion and 'annoyance' for first time 
users.

example batch:

   set LIB=C:\someproject\libs;E:\superduper\lib64
   dub build
