If that's so, what have their creators neglected wrt
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?AllLibraries
- to list them there, or to indicate there that they rely on Tango?

Maybe it's time to revamp that page.  I'll post ideas for this in a separate 
thread.

I think more important factors are:
- There are still many libraries that use Phobos, possibly even a few that 
are RTL-independent, some of which may well be being developed to support D2 
now.
- D2 isn't stable yet; in particular, 2.020 is problematic.  So any library 
support for D2 risks being broken in a subsequent compiler release; this has 
probably both broken pre-existing D2 support and put developers off trying.

But we ought to have a list of D2-compatible libraries, whether as part of a 
revamp of AllLibraries or as a separate wiki page.
