Support staged build and install for ease packaging process.
Usually build tools support staged install by using the special 
environment variable DESTDIR. It is a coding standard: 
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html

Be able to run dub on offline computer and looking dependencies 
following this order: (i) /usr/{lib,include,bin}, (ii) 
/usr/local/{lib,include,bin}, (iii) 
/${HOME}/.local/{lib,include,bin}
