To clarify, this project is only intended to replace the package 
management side of dub.

It deliberately *doesn't* replace the buildsystem side of dub. It's 
strictly buildsystem-agnostic (and even programming language agnostic), 
so you can bring-your-own-buildsystem whether it be ninja, SCons, make, 
manual buildscripts, or indeed, even dub itself.

Also, to assuage any fears, one of the key goals is to support the 
existing DUB packages on code.dlang.org, with no work necessary on the 
part of DUB package authors. (Naturally, such packages will still be 
using dub as their buildsystem...or perhaps Atila's 'bud' once that's up 
and running.)

For anyone interested, here's the project on Github:
