While there's more work that needs to be done, it'll be nice to 
be able to do things like add an sqlite dependency without 
needing the end user to mess around with sqlite. You can already 
do that by compiling the header with ImportC and using a C 
compiler to compile the library. I'm looking forward to the day I 
can add sqlite as a Dub dependency and let D compile everything.
