The differences between the DMD and GDC runtimes in Tango are smaller 
than phobos/internal vs. gphobos/internal, but additional work is still 
required.  To do so would be fairly simple though--nearly all of the 
differences are in the memory allocation routunes in internal/gc.d 
(lifetime.d in Tango).
