Hi

I'm not getting on with DUB.
Maybe fewer people use it under Windows, so Windows constructs 
don't get exercised so much.

Is there a non-DUB way of arranging that
`import arsd.terminal;`
will use that module as held on GitHub?
(DUB name: "arsd-official:terminal": "~>10.9.4").

OS: Windows 10. Compiler: DMD.

Best regards
