Dear Bastiaaan,

I am not an expert in dub system, but I have just pushed a 
modification in dub.json. I am not sure if it solves your 
problem. My modification is

     "configurations": [
         {
             "name": "default",
             "targetType": "library"
         },
         {
             "name": "betterC",
             "targetType": "library",
             "dflags": ["-betterC"]
         }
     ]

now client projects must explicitly pass the subConfiguration 
parameter to compile it with betterC.
