Sweet, thank you! I'm gonna start poking away at this somewhere 
in the next month, probably.

Re everyone else, again, local paths will not work because they'd 
fail to resolve on our build server. We could, I guess, push 
branch builds to our dub repo, but that's kind of awkward and 
would depend on our build architecture in an uncomfortable way. 
Going directly to the source seems to me the way to go.
