I have a enhancement for dub in my mind, which would also solve 
your issue. Similiar to setup.py in python you would be able to 
define an entry point in dub.json.
"entryPoints": {"foo":"subPackageName"}

Command `dub install mypackage` would create a batch file/bash 
script with name foo containing the command `dub run 
mypackage:subPackageName -- %*`.

Unfortunately I do not have any time to work on this.

Kind regards
