Nevermind the second idea, creating a branch marking getopt code 
@trusted. This won't help. The code calling getopt would need to 
be marked @trusted.

It would be very useful to bypass failures related to getopt use 
to see what else remains. I don't immediately see an easy path to 
do this though without actually rewriting the calling code.

As a general matter I think it would be useful to include more 
application code in these tests, as they may have different 
issues than the library code common in dub packages.
