dip1000 is pivotal to Dlang's succes, but I don't need to tell 
you about this.

It needs those bugs sorted out and some vigouros leadership to 
shepperd it out of the DIP process and make it default.

I want to use it in a betterC lib I'm developing, but the slow 
progress on bug front at least made me worry about its future. 
Good news is that for some parts it worked nicely, but it is not 
there yet!

Thanks.
