Indeed, Ellery is (AFAIK) the only one who has worked on ANLTR-based D 
parser recently and possibly got any significant work done in that. It's 
definitely worth looking at his work and see if anything can be reused. 
However, according to his most recent message on the subject:

"
Been pretty busy this semester, so I haven't been doing much.

But the bottom line is, yes I have working antlr grammars for D1 and D2
if you don't mind
1) they're slow
2) they're tied to a hacked-out version of the netbeans fork of ANTLR2
3) they're tied to some custom java code
4) I haven't been keeping the tree grammars so up to date

...it may not provide much of head-start.
