If there are old standby's to be rewritten in D, my first choice would not 
be full programs (for the reasons you suggest).  But I might like to see 
some C++ or even Java libraries rewritten in D to make the more easily 
available or reliable.  wxWidgets, Qt, or SWT make for obvious choices.  
I'm not the only ones to whom these were obvious as the wxD, QtD, and DWT 
projects indicate.  Not that I want to take on such a project myself, but 
it's good to see others working on them.  (Well, wxD, and QtD are not 
translations, but oh well).
