Is there anybody working on a linear algebra library for D2?

Lars Kyllingstad's SciD library (http://dsource.org/projects/scid) is a good work
in progress.  Unfortunately it depends heavily on Blas and Lapack.  I haven't
figured out how to set these up on Windows yet.  However, it's definitely off the
ground and looks pretty usable for those wizards sufficiently skilled in the art
of fiddling with linker settings to get crufty old C and Fortran libraries to link
with D code.

IMHO there should eventually be pure D versions of this functionality.  I tried to
get started writing it, but got sidetracked by about a million other things.
