There's reason for why nobody has just extract the lexer from DMD. It 
will probably take more than a day just to extract the lexer to be able 
to use it without the rest of DMD.

It's probably easier to do the actual porting than extract the lexer.

Actually, when I think about it, Johnathan is working on porting the DMD 
lexer to D.
