 From a new D user this idea looks... Great!

Though it's a separate issue, I hope this opens a path to mixed 
C/D dub projects down the road. I currently support mixed 
C/Python projects and it's been a pain (hence why Anaconda 
arose).  If I could take a C code base, make it a dub project and 
slowly convert it to D over time that would be really nice.  It 
would mean I could call C code from D "scripts".  That's crazy, 
as in crazy cool.

I look forward to seeing how this turns out.
