dmd Lexer and Parser in D

[Daniel Murphy]

On a related note, how much interest is there around here in having an 
official version of dmd written in D?

There are two ways I can imagine this actually happening:
1.
- Improve D's ability to link with C++
- Make D bindings out of the header files
- Port code to D incrementally

2.
- Dify the C++ source (no classes on the stack/embedded, no bitfields, etc)
- Fix all #ifdefs that break up expressions so they can be turned into 
versions
- Create a conversion program to turn it into D ('->' -> '.', (type) -> 
cast(type) etc)

Just something to think about for the distant future.
