Vibe.d dependencies

Vibe.d depends on libev and libevent. Unfortunately Heroku's default stack seems to be missing at least libevent-pthreads.

To compile the necessary libraries during the build, you may want to use the dub-prebuild hook with the following script. In future this extra compilation step may get triggered automatically if the buildpack detects that you are compiling a Vibe.d app.

#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -e $PREFIX ]; then
    ln -s $CACHE_PREFIX $PREFIX
