It is possible, but it heavily crippeles the language and requires 
modifications to druntime.

See: http://3d.benjamin-thaut.de/?p=20

Also see my GC free version of druntime:
https://github.com/Ingrater/druntime

My GC free version of phobos (heavily crippeled):
https://github.com/Ingrater/phobos

And my little GC free "standard library":

Its quite fun doing it when you want to learn new things, but I would 
not recommend doing so in a real wordl project.
