Talking about `dub build`, is there a way to make it build 
dependencies but not link?


   "targetType": "staticLibrary"    <-- doesn't build any 
dependencies


   "dflags": ["-c"],
   "targetType": "executable"       <-- -c will get stripped off 
by DUB


On the other hand:
How big is the chance that building with the `syntaxOnly` option 
succeeds on a package that wouldn't actually build?


What's the reason for this questions?
Well, there's the evil `sourceLibrary` build type, that makes it 
impossible to build a package itself, no matter what.


Kind regards,
