I am interested in how to add Ctrl+C support for a D program as well.

One way of achieving that is starting the program in a debugger. For 
example, with gdb:

$ gdb --args ./my_program its_command_line_arguments

[ ... gdb prints some information ... ]

(gdb) run

[ ... gdb starts the program ... ]

Press Ctrl+C here to see the backtrace.

Aside, this method is the easiest way of profiling a program to 
determine where it's spending most of its time.
