There was even the idea to support custom skeletons for dub init:

dub init sample1 -t gtdk

This would create a dub skeleton folder with a sample gtkd source 
file.

Martin Nowak had here a great idea how to achieve this

https://github.com/dlang/dub/pull/600

This feature would become quite handy.
