+Builds dynamicLibrary targets as dynamic libraries instead of static libraries.
+
+Dub will no longer build dynamicLibrary targetType's as staticLibrary.
+
+Except for x86_omf. This has been disabled due to numerous issues that will lead this to not doing what is expected of it.
+
+No compiler or linker flags have been added at this time, you will need to specify the relevant flag to get the compiler to link dynamically against Phobos.
