D buildpack for Heroku
This buildpack provides basic support for launching a Heroku application written in D.
It uses the DMD compiler, the dub package manager from the Vibe.d project to manage project dependencies, plus a few extra hooks.
Configuring a D project to run on Heroku

dub-prebuild hook
The buildpack will optionally call a script in the root of the build directory called dub-prebuild. This script is called with two arguments, $BUILD_DIR and $CACHE_DIR, which are used by the buildpack.
You can use this hook to set up any private dependencies, compile additional libraries, etc. There's an example of what you might use the hook for on the page about Running a Vibe.d application.
