I'm using `dub` to build project. And every time I run `dub` it

dub build --nodeps
It's amazing.
dub has a few uh, issues with dependencies. It pulls all
dependencies, even for disabled configurations, even for
unselected optional dependencies, then just... leaves them pulled
I guess, and doesn't link with them?

I don't know exactly what's going wrong. But after you run `dub
build` the first time, everything will be downloaded and
installed now, so you can recompile by specifying --nodeps and it
just jumps straight past all those buggy issues.
ld.gold also will vastly speed up modify-compile-check cycles.
dmd is fast at compiling, but linking it all up is really slow
with vanilla ld.
