You mount or clone whatever you want and use `dub add-local`.

I always assumed this to be the main point why people are asking 
for a better build tool, but it's not sth. dub can do atm. It's a 
limitation of the compiler that requires various changes and a 
slight redesign of our build model.

In C++ incremental rebuilds are simple as you compile each file 
individually anyhow, but that's the crux for why C++ compilations 
are so slow in the first place.
Compiling multiple modules at once provides lots of speedups as 
you do not have to reparse and analyze common/mutual imports, but 
on the downside it cannot be parallelized that well.

Dub could parallelize building individual packages/sub-packages 
(target + dependencies) right now though.

Could you please file an issue with a test case for that.
Why do you use single build mode in the first place?
