Sounds good to me.  By the way, I think Cristi was considering targeting the 
linear algebra work towards Phobos -- you might like to consider if some parts 
of SciD could be reworked as standard library features, although obviously you 
have greater freedom to extend and experiment in an independent library.

You are going to have a lot of fun.  Getting one's teeth seriously into D is a 
very pleasurable experience.

I'm interested, but it's always about time commitments.  But if you can come up 
with a TODO list, I'll promise to take a look :-)
