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.
