Currently, getting D code from github is a multistep process, that isn't always obvious. I propose the creation of a dget program, which will:

    dget https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/libevent

download the libevent code and install it in a subdirectory named libevent. Of course, the url could also be:

    dget github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/libevent

since https is assumed, or:

    dget D-Programming-Deimos/libevent

since github is assumed. And since Deimos is a known library,

    dget libevent

can also be hardwired into dget.

Anyone want to implement such? It ought to be fairly straightforward, and will be a nice timesaver for a lot of people.
