Post-mortem on experiments integrating D with a typical C/C++ game 
engine as an extension language for use processing game logic. Topics 
covered include dynamic C/C++ linkage, memory management, patterns for 
usage as an extension of existing C/C++ code, issues encountered, and 
other hairy details.
