Thanks for this.
Following your suggestion, seems that DUB found the module (as it 
got through to the linking step without complaint), but then the 
linker failed to resolve the function name.

However, when I moved the module to the project `'source'` 
directory (and took out the `importPaths` JSON entry), everything 
worked.

But I don't really want to do this - the module is my collection 
of utilities, used in a variety of projects, so doesn't really 
belong within one specific project.
