It is immposible to use this package anymore without libevent

[Kozzi11]

Because of fixing vibe-d/vibe.d#2155 it is now immposible to use this package anymore without libevent.

I have to manualy edit ~/.dub/packages/mysql-native-2.3.0/mysql-native/dub.json and remove:

"subConfigurations": {
		"vibe-d:core": "libevent"
	},

to make it works again

If you look at:
https://dub.pm/package-format-sdl.html#build-settings
to a subConfiguration part desvription it says:

Locks a dependency (first argument) to a specific configuration (second argument); see also the configurations section - this setting does not support the platform attribute

Seems like this issue is getting more and more presence:

• v2.3.0 always selects vibe-d:core instead of vibe-core #201
• https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]

Maybe this could be fixed in DUB. Is there a reason why subConfigurations does not support platform attributes?

@itkfm Yes I believe it is:

That workaround doesn't appear to be needed anymore anyway. I'm removing the offending line.

Correction: The workaround does appear to still be needed on OSX after all (even with the latest vide-core), but it clearly causes too much trouble on other platforms so I'm still removing it anyway.

I think what I'm going to do is declare official OSX support to be phobos-sockets-only, not vibe, until vibe-core gets its out-of-the-box OSX support sorted out and working (Turns out, even vibe-core itself isn't even officially/successfully tested on OSX yet: vibe-d/vibe-core#183 ).

Now fixed. The munged osx "fix" has been removed in master.
