I'm really tempted to create a build tool that parses dub.sdl, et al, in
the source tree and maps them internally to its own representation that
replicates dub's actions, so existing dub projects would Just Work(tm),
while exposing a different interface for more advanced use cases. Or
perhaps extend dub.sdl for that purpose.
