Just to reiterate, SCons D support now has a ProgramAllAtOnce builder
for those that want to use Unit-Threaded in their D codebases using
SCons.

Also I have the beginnings of a Dub SCons tool for using Dub as a
package manager in a SCons build.

Currently it does what I need, so until there are users requesting
extensions and bug fixes it is "job done", though I may try to get
enough tests to go for a pull request of the currently separate tool
into the SCons distribution.
