That project hasn't been touched in 4 years. It will likely 
require a non-trivial amount of work to port it to modern D. It 
might be worth it, it might not, I don't know. If you did, you 
would want to use https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2 as mango 
depended on Tango in D1

dsource is dead, pretty much nothing there is maintained, 
code.dlang.org is your best bet for finding modern D projects.
