DUB emerged as a more general replacement for vibe.d's package manager. It does
not imply a dependency to vibe.d for packages and was extended to not only
directly build projects, but also to generate project files (currently VisualD).
Mono-D also supports the use of dub.json (dub's package description) as the
project file.
The project's philosophy is to keep things as simple as possible. All that is
needed to make a project a dub package is to write a short dub.json file and
put the source code into a source subfolder. It can then be registered on the
public package registry to be made available for everyone. Any dependencies
specified in dub.json are automatically downloaded and made available to the
project during the build process.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

- Don't call git from the build process, making it more consistent and
reproducible
