Because I don't use unittest blocks, I use my own library. The 
one thing it can't use the compiler for is discover what files 
are in a directory, so I need to generate the main function that 
calls into unit-threaded with a list of compile-time strings. 
What I need/want is that every time I add a new source file to 
the project, it gets auto-generated automatically and is a 
dependency of the unittest build in dub.
