Well it's up to you what you want, and how much effort you are willing 
to put into /porting/ the parts you try to use - as opposed to just 
using them inside the complete Tango environment.

..but before you get started: don't. I have read enough to see your 
point: "Don't swim upstream, ffs! What are you doing! That's not 
standard!". No offense intended, but you seem to be ridiculously 
reluctant to changes made by other than the original author of an 
environment (which is Walter in case of D and Phobos). You also seem to 
forget, that we're talking all open source and partly even free software 
(F/OSS).
