Maybe the time has come to discuss that. Should we make dub

Question from a complete non-user of dub -- how does it
determine which D compiler(s) to install libraries for/with? I
almost never use DMD for anything apart from work on Phobos,
but I alternate frequently between GDC and LDC. I'd need a
package manager that would play nice with that kind of
switching and swapping.
--compiler=gdc/ldc is all you need to do to use compilers other
than dmd. It doesn't normally install packages into the
compiler's existing library/source search paths but rather
specifies the path to dependencies during building. Packages are
normally installed to somewhere in your user directory (I can't
remember where exactly, somewhere like ~dub/packages). You can
also install packages as a directory in the current directory
(--local) or system wide (--system). I find the default behavior
works just fine for me though.
