If nimble is the one definitive build tool for Nim, you are right. In some 
situations, people might prefer the more lightweight script-plus-compiler 
approach though, without the package manager part.

OP gives an example (how to have conditional flags to depend on compiler 
version), is it not valid anymore?

If I want to distribute just a binary, can/should I have one nimble file using 
nims for the complex build process and another for distribution?
