All of it? Well, not quite, but large parts at least.

If we are going to stick to the C subset of the language, there 
is little point in translating it to D in the first place.

Of course, there will be some restrictions arising from the fact 
that the code base needs to work with D versions from a year back 
or so. But to me duplicating the whole standard library inside 
the compiler source seems like maintenance hell.
