DUB used to support using github branches for the version, but
it was deprecated not so long ago. There's a workaround for it,
though, IIRC. If you search the dub forums [1], or ask about it
there, you should get an answer.

I've finally got this working - the SDL FAQ page sort of
identifies the cause; the xorg dev files have to be installed
before building SDL otherwise you end up with a 'non-x' version
(not sure what you'd do with that!). I built SDL first and then
tried installing the missing x development files.
