A lot of D1 code was 32-bit only, so there will be tons of uint 
instead of size_t.

Implicit string concatenation was also a thing. I tried porting 
Jarrett Billingsley's Croc (aka MiniD) to D2, and that was the 
most common issue I encountered.

Most of the D1 ecosystem died with dsource.org, yes.

D1 code doesn't have a modern Phobos, but it does have Tango 
available, which might help.
