I'm surprised to see many people doing this. But I'm wondering..
If you already got the code working in D, why not let it stay 
there and write a C interface?
Company policy? Missing dynamic loading? Some build issues?

If the code could stay in D, it would seem like a good way to 
slowly integrate D into a company.
