I started to look at this, but got de-motivated by the C++ :) It is unlikely
that I will have more time for it in the near future.

A small plugin (only a few lines of code) will be needed for KDevelop to
accept D files as source code. Syntax highlighting is through Kate, so that
is not a problem. Further support, especially for managing dsss
configuration files (one could still use makefiles of course or some other
solution), D semantic support etc, will be much more work, but the DMD
parser may very well be possible to use for this.
