One of the problems of many Make-like tools is that they offer 
lots of freedom, especially when allowing you to launch arbitrary 
shell commands. But this also comes with drawbacks, because this 
touch command will instantly break Windows builds, might also be 
a problem on some non-Linux platforms like macOS. Declarative 
approach from tools like dub might be restrictive, but it also 
lets me as a user know that I can download an arbitrary dub 
project and 99% chance it will just compile out of the box on 
Windows.
