Since there's a fatal bug in the library that disallows it to 
be built, I'll be leaving it out for now, and instead move onto 
something else, or try to issue a correction.


I think the way to go is with configuration

``dub build`` // will default to config "posix" since it's the 
1st one
``dub build -c windows`` // will use "windows" config, without 
the dependency


https://dub.pm/package-format-sdl.html#configurations

```
configuration "posix" {
dependency "libx11" version="0.0.1"
}
configuration "windows" {
platforms "windows"
}
```

My dub knowledge is pretty limited, maybe there is a better way?
