It is trivial, really. Just download the files to your import 
path and `dmd -i`. Only hard part is the modules need to be 
arranged such that dmd -i will find it... and the dub package 
layout isn't compatible with it... lol.

But my libs are :P


We could probably write a downloader that reads module 
declarations and arranges them in an installed libs folder. Very 
simplified "install library" thing whose initial setup could set 
the dmd conf stuff so it just works (or wraps dmd slightly to add 
-I and -i to build it)...
