That looks like the time difference I got from adding --no-deps to the 
command line for dub and depending on gtk-d as a shared library.

The meson documentation currently says that dub dependencies don't get 
fetched.

If substituting `dub build` with `meson build` just worked, that would be 
fine. Instead, it's substituting `dub build` with `dub fetch pkgA versionA 
&& dub fetch pkgB versionB && ... && meson build`. That's pretty 
unfriendly. So I'd end up having to write a meson build file and a build 
script, and I'd have to keep dependencies in sync between the two.
