What is the D-extended gdb doing? I looked at d-lang.c and only 
found some demangling stuff as well as rewriting D-specific 
native types. I'd be more than happy to let gdb examine every 
variable's properties etc, especially when it comes to debugging 
templated/mixed-in stuff and interfaces - but well, I've got my 
very C#-like toString() examination as 'ultimate' bonus 
feature..it was awesome to have this feature integrated into gdb 
by default, too though!

So btw, could you please define 'does not work'? Is there an 
exception, is there just a silent quit, is there a mysterious 
return value -1 when executing the program with the debugger?

Jameson, as you've already built MonoDevelop on your own, could 
you please try cloning & building 
https://github.com/llucenic/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb.D.git, 
putting the built dll in MonoDevelop's Addin directory (my best 
practice: Make a symlink from /Addins to your /bin/Debug folder - 
this way MD won't miss any recently rebuilt addin :-) )
