Thanks.

I also intend to use the conversions as an excuse to reform the code
into a more C++ coding style convention[1].  You can look at toir.cc
to get a general feel of this[2].

Other things it gives me the excuse to do is renaming the files
without the d- prefix.

d-elem.cc -> expr.cc
d-decls.cc -> decls.cc
d-ctype.cc -> ctype.cc
etc...

Adding namespaces to split each component of the sources is something
on my todo list too (moving away from the flat C function names).
