yet this is not clear now. some people looking at dub as "build system 
with crappy package manager included", other as "package manager with 
crappy build system included" (and some other as "chimera made of crappy 
package manager and crappy build system" ;-).

clear separation of two projects will immediately show the goals of each 
one, so there will be less space for misunderstanding and speculations.
