OK, what do you mean by "just works"? What is needed to in the script?
I'll admit I haven't really looked too closely at the Android docs yet,
but shouldn't it just be a matter of compiling your D sources with gdc
as usual, and then link it with a particular set of libraries?

Well, OK, so you do need to setup an ARM cross-compiler, so you'll need
either to build gdc/gcc yourself (ugh) or have someone provide the
binaries. What else?
