Create empty DGui skeleton project

[andre2007]

A minimal DGui application skeleton can be built

I really think we should have a "plugin" system for that. It would mostly work by convention, so that for example, dub init vibe.d will look for dub-init folder (or subpackage) in vibe.d package, and copy it. That would also fix the issues of the packages not being in sync).

A true plugin system would automatically search for and run shared libraries, and identify a set of callbacks, related or not to init files. This would be useful for eg. adding custom pre-processors, like a diet templates compiler that isn't CTFE but runs at compile-time.

There are many flavors of plugin systems, it doesn't always have to be shared library based. In this particular case I think that a template package is really a much better solution. But yeah, a "build" plugin system like you describe is also something that we need to think about. I've recently talked about such possibilities with Atila Neves via e-mail and could post those in a separate ticket or on the forums.

Isn't this basically a subset of the features in #600?

[s-ludwig]

@blm768: Yes, I think we should actually close this and go for a variant of #600 instead (using a sub package instead of a specific sub path).
