yes, incremental rebuilds, please. even for simple project with two 
modules dub is not able to do incremental rebuilds:

=== source/app.d ===
import std.stdio;
import mymod;

void main () {
  writeln(test);
}

=== source/mymod.d ===
module mymod;

int test () { return 42; }

% dub --build-mode=singleFile
Building _00 ~master configuration "application", build type debug.
Compiling using dmd...
Compiling source/app.d...
Compiling source/mymod.d...
Linking...
Running ./_00
42

so far, so good.

touch source/app.d
% dub --build-mode=singleFile
Building _00 ~master configuration "application", build type debug.
Compiling using dmd...
Compiling source/app.d...
Compiling source/mymod.d...
Linking...
Running ./_00
42

??? i didn't modified "mymod.d"! why it is rebuilding it?! 'cmon, it's in 
no way better than a simple shell script that just executes "dmd -c" for 
each file and then links the results.
