Right. And to summarize what I said elsewhere about that: "Building WITH 
dub" need NOT imply "building using dub's internal buildsystem". It only 
needs to mean "The CORRECT buildsystem can be trigged via 'dub build', 
whatever buildsystem that may be".

That's why the current situation is backwards and CAUSES splits rather 
than preventing them: We can always trigger dub's internal buildsystem 
via "dub build", but trying to get "dub build" to trigger the CORRECT 
one INSTEAD of built-in (whenever a different one is needed) is a world 
of hurt.
