One [more] year ahead, and I found this old thread I had 
forgotten about. In the meantime, trentforkert has stopped 
(apparently) working on cmake, and dcarp's has failed me for 
projects larger than a couple files. It also looks like it's not 
receiving updates anymore.

All of this kept me away from D. Now that gdc is rumoured to get 
merged into gcc 8 tho, is there any concrete chance of this 
happening? I think even rust (which came out after D) has decent 
cmake support at this point.
