That's a good one.

No interest for it atm.

This is also nice, but I wonder if one can tailor D side of the binding
or dstep is meant to just provide wrapper for C function?

In the latter case, glueing dstsep with CWrape would be nice.

Those are very nice as well...I might try dstep, so you can expect some
issues @github. ;)

We anticipate that our C++ usage in D is limited just to GUI libs and
hopefully there will be new wxD soon.

That's true atm, but I'm not sure how much is klickverbot committed to
work on it...so, having specific binding tool for D is very nice in any
case.
