digitalmars.D.learn - dub subpackage output to shared lib not working

Trying to get a dub sub package to output as a shared lib but for 
some reason I can only get it to output as a static lib.

dub.json

{
	"name": "tofueng",
	"targetType": "executable",
	"targetPath" : "game",
	"sourcePaths": ["eng"],
	"importPaths": ["eng"],

	"dependencies": {
		"tofueng:test": "*",

			"targetPath" : "game/libs",
			"sourcePaths": ["com/test"],
			"importPaths": ["com/test"]
		}
	]
}

Get tofueng_test.lib instead of tofueng_test.dll. If I try to 
build the sub package directly it builds the dll. What am I doing 
wrong?

Is this not doable?

I guess an alternative question, is there any way to have 
multiple binaries(an executable and a bunch of shared libs) built 
from a single dub package? Or should I just give up on trying to 
use dub for this...

This [https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/665] seems to be 
somewhat related to what I am trying to do, not sure if this got 
addressed at all though.

Actually.. if I do dub describe on the root package it lists both 
the exe and the lib as targets but the build settings for the lib 
has "targetType": 6 which according to 
dub/source/dub/compilers/buildsettings.d is staticLibrary... is 
this a bug or what?

omfg.... I should have read the build output more closely...right 
at the top "Dynamic libraries are not yet supported as 
dependencies - building as static library."... welp guess I give 
up then, 4 days waisted.
