Thanks Rory, Puming. I'll look into this and see how best to
make it fit. I'm realizing also there's one additional
capability it'd be nice to have in dub for tools like this,
which in an option to install the executables somewhere that
can be easily be put on the path. Still, even without this
there'd be benefit to having them fetched via dub.
You don't need to put anything on path to run utils from dub
packages. `dub run` will take care of setting necessary
envionment (without messing with the system):
dub fetch package_with_apps
dub run package_with_apps:app1 --flags args
These are command line utilities, along the lines of unix 'cut',
'grep', etc, intended to be used as part of unix pipeline. It'd
be less convenient to be invoking them via dub. They really
should be on the path themselves.
