Do you when you are initialising a dub project you can run it 
like this?
dub init <projName> <list of proj dependencies>

e.g. dub init myProj logger vibe-d dexpect
will create a project in myProj that has the latest logger,vibe-d 
and dexpect versions in it's dependencies.

Rather than creating a gui, I'd rather time be spent on creating 
a new command something like
dub update dependencies <list-of-dependencies>
(Maybe 'update' is the wrong word...) that will simply update the 
current dub project with the new deps.

It'd be trivial to tie a GUI into that then.
