OneDrive Client written in D

[Rory McGuire via Digitalmars-d-announce]

The client id is generated on oauth server when setting up credentials for
an app / webservice.

You could never trust an app checksum because you would never know if it
was fake. (Also this would only be something you could consider if you were
implementing an oauth server or you had some intermediate server)
