zmqd itself is just a thin D wrapper around deimos.zmq which is where
the C stuff is. Looks like a lot of repetition, and it is manual – but
very useful for the task of the moment, so thanks for the pointer. For
0MQ, using DStep might be better than the hand crafted zmqd/diemos.zmq.
I am not sure if DStep is the right tool for creating a complete D
binding to Fontconfig. Given that Fontconfig has a GIR file, using
girtod may well be the better route.
