Some advices:


- do not use the "umbrella" packages like "dplug" but rather the 
sub-packages like "dplug:dsp". This will reduce the number of 
dependencies.

- cut the number of dependencies to the minimum. For example you 
have freeimage AND imaged who overlap quite a bit.
   More dependencies = more problems. Add them one by one IF they 
are needed and after evaluating them.

- before relying on a dependency, check that it looks maintained, 
has travis-ci integration, and build. Without editing anything, 
you can do:

     dub test thatpackage

anywhere and it should download and build the tests.

- if given the choice, use a derelict binding vs a statically 
linked dependency. This will make things a tad easier.
