Once http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9285 is done we'll 
have a realistic means to progressively port dmd's official front end 
into D by translating one module at a time and linking together C++ and 
D code. dtoh would serve as the bridge generator and would allow us to 
avoid maintaining duplicate declarations.
