It appears a proper redirect was recently put in place (as of today or
yesterday, I think).  I no longer get d-programming-language.org results in
Google and hitting that site redirects you to dlang.org (and it works on a
per page basis and redirects to the correct location on the new domain).

Also, I just created this
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/d-programming-language.org/pull/94
which
I think gets the remaining stragglers.
