DUB RC 0.9.24-rc.1 ready for testing

[Sönke Ludwig via Digitalmars-d]

If everything goes as planned, the 0.9.24 release will be the last one 
before 1.0.0. The two major additions over 0.9.23 are the support for 
SDLang based package descriptions [1] [2] and an extended support for 
"dub describe" and build command environment variable support. See the 
change log for more details.

There are a few issues open that may still get into the final release if 
they get confirmed:

My first practical impressions of the new SDL based package descriptions 
(vibe.d and some private projects) are very positive. It's a bit like 
converting a C++ code base to D - all the lines get a lot shorter, with 
less visual noise. And comments are of course a great win. My only 
nitpick is that attributes can only be placed at the end of a line, 
which not optimal in case of the "platform" attribute.
