Visual D has some very basic dub support since version 0.51: if a
project is generated via dub, it has dub.sdl/json as a file in the
project. If this exists you can use "dub refresh" from the context menu
in the solution explorer to rebuild the solution, so need to change to
the command line.

Adding some watch for modification of that file seems like a simple
extension. Not sure if it will make it into the coming release, though.
