dub doesn't address my needs at all, but I've put crap loads of time/energy<br>
into the D extension for premake, which works well (<br>

really gotten any attention from the D community :(<br>

Never heard of the extension until now.<div><br>

It generates cross-language build scripts (ie, C/C++ and D code all<br>
together in the same project) for make and many popular IDE's.<br>
I use it for large scale projects that involve C/C++ engine library, D<br>
front end code, and other ancillary libraries bolted on the side.<br>

That's cool, and I might make use of this when mixing D and C/C++. What dub does do really well is just making any source package available. I wish I had that plus the full features of a build system like CMake all under one roof.</blockquote>
