We do - it's just very far from being complete. dpp can do some 
simple C++ and would have been able to do C-with-classes-style 
C++ ages ago. My focus is on templates though, since for me I 
can't see any useful C++ libraries that I'd actually want to call 
from D that don't use templates. And sometimes it's as silly as 
wanting to bind to an existing not-that-complicated library that 
happens to have a std::vector in its structs. For that, you need 
to be able to translate the standard library.

A cursory glance shows me that Oh My Gentool doesn't yet do 
operator overloading or move/copy constructors yet for instance, 
and dpp does both of those right now (modulo bugs).

However, the more, the merrier!
