number 3 is in the pipeline. LDC should be able to produce .ptx 
and .spv (the intermediate formats for CUDA and OpenCL 
respectively, with host code all at the same time!) RealSoon™ (I 
hope by the end of the month).

 From there it's all just plain D API bashing, which will be 
easily automated with .mangleof and templates.

I am hoping to give a DConf talk about this.
