Hi,

Firstly I need to say that I am mostly a windows user that don't like 
using command line, and I prefer well integrated tools.

This is why I think that dub and VisualD should works more together.
I think that VisualD should be able to generate a solution based on a 
dub.sdl configuration file and auto detect changes to update the solution.
It is possible to do something similar with CMake except that the Visual 
generator is called by CMake GUI and Visual doesn't detect changes in 
CMakeList.txt files directly, it use a pre-process during the compilation.

I already saw small improvements I can do on dub or VisualD to reach 
that goal, but before doing PRs I am preferring to be sure that Rainer 
Schuetze and Sönke Ludwig will accept changes that go in this direction.

I already made a PR to dub:
