Why is DUB not passing dll.def file to linker

You'll need to pass -ax86_64 in your preBuildCommands. You could 
set up separate configurations.

What's the issue with using the DLL project as a dependency? 
Assuming the following layout:

-project
-- dllProject
-- exeProject

You should be able to add a copyFiles directive to the dllProject 
configuration that will copy the DLL to the output directory of 
anything that depends on it.

"copyFiles" : ["dllProject.dll"]

Then you can add the following to exeProject/dub.json:

"dependencies": {
     "dllProjectName": {"path" : "../dllProject" }
}

I would expect the import lib to be linked automatically. This 
should ensure the dll is compiled with the same architecture as 
the exe.
