Announcing: D support in SWIG

[Andrej Mitrovic]

I'm curious, can you use SWIG with D2 on Linux as well? From what I've
read so far in the docs, SWIG creates an extension module that can be
compiled as a dynamic library. But afaik there are some issues with
using dynamic libs in Linux with D2, at least that's what I've read a
few times in the newsgroups..

All of the examples work fine on windows, though. :)
