Thats not a bad idea, once I figure out how to incorporate D into 
the original
Source and build with make files I will give it a shot.  Start 
with some basic
Conversions, then branch out further to the bigger stuff.  One of 
my main interests
In converting it entirely to do is to see how much faster the 
kernel would compile.

Hopefully the idea is to give it a much faster compile time and 
make changes faster and easier to implement.  What are your 
thoughts on how I have implemented the strcpy type stuff?
