Conditional importing is something I love in D and occasionally find 
indispensable. Unfortunately, dub's "always throw every file I can 
possibly find at the compiler" completely breaks it :( I am working on 
some PRs though which hopefully will get accepted and (I hope) should 
make it possible for a lib to essentially say "I get built using rdmd 
(or whatever) not dub's internal build system" which would fix the 
problem (or at least make it bypassable anyway).
