The GtkD README gives the distinct impression that DSSS is the only way
of building GtkD and any projects using it.  However, according to its
own webpage, DSSS is a Dv1 system that cannot work with Dv2, which I
guess indicates either a system with little future or a lack of
maintenance of webpages.

Certainly it ought to be feasible to create a C, C++, Fortran, D build
system using D that could be far superior to Make, CMake, Autotools. As
noted on the DSSS page integration with a unified package management
system is a USP. Go has shown that this works very well by integrating
GitHub, BitBucket and Launchpad as repositories, rather than using a
special one a la CTAN, CPAN, Gems.

Current I tend to build C, C++, Fortran, D using SCons or Waf, but if a
reinvigorated and Dv2 compatible DSSS can compete and work with
repositories on GitHub, BitBucket and Launchpad rather than just it's
own repository, I am happy to make use of it. Alternatively if there is
a description of how to build GtkD that doesn't involve installing DSSS
I am happy to write a SCons build. 

Thanks.
