As Rikki said.
3. ability to compose libraries.
Not sure what you mean.
4. ability to override a compiler for betterC libraries.
Not sure what you mean. The selected compiler is outside the
dub configurations with --compiler.
You probably know can have special LDC flags:
DUB allows to set only compiler flags. I want to define how
betterC libraries should be builded inside their dub configs
instead of unified compiler/build options for all libs like it
works now.
Dub configurations and dependencies sub-configurations let you
define version identifiers from outside the library, and can
have different "dflags" too.
Example from product:
----------------
"configurations": [
{
"name": "VST-EE",
"versions": ["VST", "full"],
"targetType": "dynamicLibrary",
"lflags-osx": [ "-exported_symbols_list",
"source/module-vst.lst", "-dead_strip" ]
},
----------------
The tricky thing is to recognize where "lflags" or "dflags" are
needed, and how this interact with --combined (dflags and
lflags get merged then).
Investment in dub pays dividend by being unified and makes
sense after a while.
This approach does not work for Mir GLAS.

I can build a Mir GLAS library with DUB. But I can not do it
automatically with DUB, but want to do it.
For example:
---
"dependencies": {
"mir-glas": "<its recent version>"
}
---
will not work for a user because mir-glas should be prebuilded
with the following command:
dub build --config=static --build=target-native --compiler=ldmd2
--build-mode=singleFile --parallel
And it should be builded this way whatever compiler and dub
options user use for his project.
