This simple layout works, but then all parts will be compiled

By "compiled every time", if you're talking about when using
the library as a dependency, that's not quite true. dub will
compile dependencies on the first run, then only in specific
scenarios, not every time. It's really not a big deal. Take a
look at dlib [1], for example. On big monolithic library and I
haven't seen anyone complaining.
But if you really want to, take a look at subpackages[2] in the
dub docs.

[2] https://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json#sub-packages
Actually the compiling is fast. But its confusing, that all
unittests from all sublibraries are performed every time.
I thought with subpackages I can perform just the test from the
part I'm working on.
But I can't get the right layout for the subpackages.
