That's essentially the same as using a Makefile (or CMake with 
custom commands) to build your project.

What I had in mind when I mentioned "multi-executable projects" 
was something like Postgres or say, a tenth of that, e.g., a 
server executable, two or more client and utility executables and 
one or more libraries, all of it spread over a few directories, 
possibly to a depth of say, two from the root.  Can dub handle 
something like that, e.g., can it handle nested dub.json's, or 
wouldn't it make much more sense to build such a thing with make, 
cmake, meson?
