0install does not currently use Dune. However, I am working on moving
to it. It's a bit complicated because we currently support:

- local dev builds,
- opam builds,
- 0compile builds,
- various Linux distributions, and
- Windows builds,

all of which need some special cases. We also have C stubs (some
Windows only), and conditional compilation (obus, lablgtk), and
binaries build with GTK still need to work on systems without it.

If anyone wants to see the current state, it's here:

I'm currently trying to get the Windows build working, which is a bit
slow as I don't have a Windows machine and waiting for AppVeyor to
install things each time is quite tedious.
