I might revisit Dub again once some of the fixable issues

Another very important argument is consistency in using packages.
I recently tried digger which is a really great tool, but it took
me about 5 min to get it running.
- make temp folder
- copy URL from github & clone & cd digger
- search build instructions README/INSTALL/wiki/main.d
- rdmd --build-only digger => linker error
- Wondering, if I really have time for this?
- ah, need to clone all submodules
- rdmd digger --help
With dub you do this instead.
dub fetch digger
dub run digger -- --help
That works in whatever folder you are, builds a stable version of
the tool and even links against already installed and build
dependencies.
