Maybe the D foundation could finance a developer for this ? 300 € 
sounds fine imo, because it's not so hard, the guy has to do it 
for DMD and communicate with the LDC/GDC devels so that they put 
the specific backend things. And after it's a long term stuff, 
meaning that ucent/cent types are there.
