----------------------------
{
	"name": "myproject",
	"description": "A little web service of mine.",
	"authors": ["Peter Parker", "Joe Contrib"],

	"dependencies": {
		"vibe-d": ">=0.7.11",
		"mylib:component1": "~master",
		"mylib:component2": "~master"
	},

	"subPackages": [
		{
			"name": "component1",
			"targetType": "library",
			"sourcePaths": ["source/component1"]
		},
		{
			"name": "component2",
			"targetType": "library",
			"sourcePaths": ["source/component2"]
		}
	]
}

vs:

----------------------------
name "myproject",
description "A little web service of mine."
authors "Peter Parker" "Joe Contrib"

dependencies {
	vibe-d ">=0.7.11"
	mylib:component1 "~master"
	mylib:component2 "~master"
}

subPackage {
	name "component1"
	targetType "library"
	sourcePaths "source/component1"
}

subPackage {
	name "component2"
	targetType "library"
	sourcePaths "source/component2"
}
----------------------------

That's why.

Besides, the JSON form wouldn't be going away anyway, it'd still be
kept.
