Like Jacob mentioned, Derelict has interfaces for DevIL, and also 
SDL_Image if I recall correctly. Why isn't that good enough? I don't 
know about DevIL, but I've used SDL_Image before, and I think the API 
was perfectly fine. I mean, it was quite small, so there is not much 
that needs to be adapted to make it more D-like.
