Yes, this is a good idea.  It took me most of a day of trying to 
wrestle my project into a dub-compatible state and I honestly 
ended up giving up because my old Makefile is shorter, faster, 
and much easier to understand. (IIRC, the last straw was 
realising dub doesn't seem to have a good answer to Make targets, 
so building my library test samples was... impossible?  Or at 
least completely obtuse.)

I would request that you especially look for common build idioms 
and how to represent them in dub, because I'm apparently not the 
only one who thinks it's not obvious.
