Doesn't dub have an option to compile packages (i.e. subdirs)
separately? Or does that only apply to dub packages, not to subdirs
within a single project?

This is one of the reasons I was not impressed by dub (sorry, Sonke).  I
continue to use SCons for my D projects. For dub dependencies, I just
create a fake empty dub project with declared dependencies and run that
separately for refreshing dependencies, but the actual compiling and
linking is handled by SCons.  Once a project gets beyond a certain size,
you *need* more fine-grained control over exactly how the project should
be built.
