Developing a D GUI from scratch is way beyond our reach at the moment. People 
have spent enormous efforts developing GUI libraries for other platforms, 
there's no good reason for not leveraging their efforts.

It's not just the code involved. It's the tutorials, web sites, manuals, 
support, etc., that would have to be reinvented. By developing a D interface to 
an existing one, none of that has to be developed.
