Ok, going on the contrarian view here, but if those are your supported 
OSes/compiler, isn't that need fairly adequately filled by GDB at the 
moment? Why start work on a whole new debugger? Particularly since the 
Windows debugging scene for D is much more lacking than Linux, so I'm 
failing to see why all the enthusiasm around here...
