Dub does exactly that, so not a problem. Dub even has the
--skip-registry option to avoid the network access at all. My
problem is that this is effectively a first build and Dub
repository access is mandatory or no build can start using Dub.

Well, if you don't have dependencies installed locally (via dub
or otherwise), then obviously it's impossible to build
anything. :-D That's hardly a dub problem, right?

You could go to knock on the devs door of a dependency and ask
for a copy of the code (e.g. on a floppy :) ). It is possible to
add "a local package directory (e.g. a git repository)" in dub -
so no need for hipster-WWW ;P
btw: The vibe repo seems to be up and running again.
