dub: Is it possible to have a library target and depend on it in the same dub config?

There are other options.

for instance dub (the project) has a library and an application. the 
config looks like this:

configuration "application" {
	targetType "executable"
	mainSourceFile "source/app.d"
	libs "curl"
	versions "DubUseCurl" "DubApplication"
}

configuration "library" {
	targetType "library"
	excludedSourceFiles "source/app.d"
	copyFiles "bin/libcurl.dll" "bin/libeay32.dll" "bin/ssleay32.dll" 
platform="windows"
	versions "DubUseCurl"
}

You can also build a subproject in the same repository. In that case, 
you would probably want the app to be the main project, and you then 
depend on the library project via "foo:lib"
