Funny story, I'm doing it the other way around.

I got my program fully working in D, and am porting it to C.

The basic idea is that I'm going to port it "chunk by chunk" to 
C, while keeping my main in D. This allows me to "package" the 
finished parts in C, but still work on the rest in D. It also 
means the porting doesn't have to be done in its totality in a 
single pass.
