digitalmars.D.learn - Dub pre-build hook

Is there a way to write a pre-build hook in Dub?

Specifically, I want to write unittests in a separate package to the rest 
of my source code. This requires a module that imports all my unittest 
modules. It's safer to automatically generate this than to rely on my 
memory.

My other alternative is to write a D script that assembles this file and 
then invokes dub, and always invoke dub via that script.

I write this and immediately see preBuildCommands and preGenerateCommands. I'm not sure what the difference is, though. I think preBuildCommands is the way to go (and preGenerateCommands is maybe for generating project files). I'll give it a shot and see how it turns out.
