Even if it isn't I'd be quite interested in seeing the code. I was (with the 
intention of returning too) working on something similar (about halfway 
through) as a task for getting me writing some D code. I've got connecting, 
queries and was most of the way through getting some templates set up for 
convenient prepared statements, no unit tests etc though. Would be nice to 
see how someone else achieved the same task to see how else I could have 
developed the code.
