While I've no doubt the functionality here is good, I think
following the Ant colony down the XML branch will ultimately be
a pest that's hard to control.
In my current job, we have ant scripts to install our dev
builds that is 10k+ lines long! And noone knows all of it. A
single line change gives me nightmares!! It started off nice
and small, but grew to a monster.
We're now moving towards gradle as we can control the install
much better with a fully fledged programming environment.
Should be much easier read too.
Seems strange to be talking about dub as, ahem, Antique
software already. Surely it's still salvageable?
From my little experience with Gradle as part of Android Studio,
be prepared for increased build times and CPU load vs Ant.
