Looking at this page all the descriptions except openssl do not mention
D: it is not clear these are D bindings. Especially given that GitHub
says they are all written in C.  I think the GitHub descriptions have to
make it blatantly clear that these are not forks of the original
libraries, but are D adaptors to them.

And, following up a thread elsewhere, there needs to be a way of
packaging these for easy download, install and use.  As soon as an
instruction says "clone or download the repository, and run make" the
game is lost. This is especially true when the download and install
instruction are different for different libraries.

To succeed Deimos will need a unitary installation framework so all
contributions are handled the same way.
