I  thought several people were already working on this. Though it might be  
nice
to see a gcc style self bootstraping monster too.
   stage 1 - lowest common denominator = C - basic D compiler
   stage 2 - compile D version of D compiler using itself
   stage 3 - recompile D compiler using stage 2 compiler for more  
optimisation.
