The user code will have to be updated, and that /may/ be enough of a 
change that a branch will be required.  If you're interested in using 
Tango with D 2.0 for now I'd suggest using DSSS instead of trying to 
build the user library, and just see how it goes.  My focus is on the 
runtime, so I honestly can't say how far you'll get.
