Aside from the issues I mentioned, the only major issue left is 
to fill in the many "holes" in the bindings, so if you end up 
using BulletD at some point (assuming I can get it back off the 
ground), just file an issue on the GitHub page for anything 
that's missing. That makes it easier to focus development efforts.

Derelict includes a binding to the Open Dynamics Engine, which is 
a fairly capable engine. Last time I checked, though, Bullet was 
somewhat better.

Thanks!
