Don't special-case vibe.d. Dub is the key to the ecosystem. Once 
you have dub, vibe.d comes for free, even if you don't want to 
use dub for your project.

Guarantees of operation with particular compiler versions is 
something for vibe.d versioning, which in turn is the job of dub 
to manage.

Not breaking vibe.d with dmd/phobos regressions needs the 
auto-tester, not release bundling.
