Just another wishlist thread?
Clearly for a roadmap you have to match demand with possible supply.
If you want to implement something or you found someone to do it for you 
put it on the Agenda (http://wiki.dlang.org/Agenda).

Not sure what this is for, won't -defaultlib= + manual linking already 
do the job? Is this very important or just a personal issue of yours?

Debugging is important, but personally I have no interest to work on 
Windows debug information. Your best bet is to pair up with Rainer who 
already has a lot to do maintaining VisualD.

There seem to be competing DIPs. Please assemble the available 
information and any existing discussion outcome and update the wiki 
accordingly.
Also this might need a final discussion/voting round and at least a 
glance from Walter and Andrei.
If Kenji has enough time, he might be able to help you with the 
implementation.
