Well then lets call a spade a spade and start writing our own operating 
system shall we?

Personally I think it is more reasonable to assume certain libraries 
will be installed. Such as for Windows user32 and GDI.
Where by there is no real alternatives. Like X11 for *nix.
In other words, system libraries are fine to use. As you have no real 
choice in the matter.

Now SDL on the other hand, you cannot assume will be installed or 
available. Unless you want to go bundling that or using static 
libraries. Still defeats the purpose of expanding D's library base.
