it is possible to implement libC on top of your code standard 
library in D so that D-only applications don't rely on legacy C 
code.

Newlib is a portable libC implementation that is relatively easy 
(the linker errors might take you longer to sort than the code :) 
to get going.

initially we implemented its '13 system calls' in C:
https://github.com/wolfwood/buildtools/blob/xomb/newlib-files/syscalls.c

but we eventually moved most of that code into D:
https://github.com/wolfwood/xomb/blob/unborn/user/c/cbindings.d

obviously most of the details will be different for your OS.
