I actually thought about that, but it seemed like an excess step, and I 
figured I could leverage my experience creating D->PHP to then do a D->Flash 
and maybe then D->JS...but...maybe it would be good to start with D->Haxe 
just to take care of all of them at once, and only then go about eliminating 
the extra step.

What do other people think? If you're interested in D->PHP, or D->Flash, 
would you have any problem using Haxe as an intermediate step? Do you 
anticipate other potential users would have a problem with that?
