It looks like this library (using Botan C++) could simply be translated 
to D code:

https://github.com/cdesjardins/ne7ssh

The only problem I see is that it's licensed QPL. However, the 
maintainer is missing and I think the library is simple enough to use it 
as a guideline/reference (along with other RFCs and libraries) and 
re-write an ssh library from scratch to get something new and original 
out of it and possibly use a more open license
