Really what needs to happen is getting Derelict-Util into phobos.
And some CTFE magic to create static bindings from those (if wanted).

 From there its just port the derelict libraries and deimos ones to it 
and PR for phobos.

Perhaps bindings shouldn't go through the review process. After all 
there isn't exactly bugs that can be introduced from it.
