I was late, but I have since gotten this taken care of, so it's 
all golden.

FYI, for anyone facing a similar problem in the future and is 
hung up waiting on me to merge a pull request, the base loader in 
DerelictUtil allows overriding the default library names. So 
instead of a library like DLangUI requiring a patched Derelict 
package, you could do this:

version(Derelict_OS_Android)
     DerelictFT.load("libft2.so");

You can pass multiple library names as a single, comma-separated 
string:

DerelictFT.load("libft2.so,libfreetype.so");

Or as an array (which is what the above is converted to 
internally anyway):

DerelictFT.load(["libft2.so", "libfreetype.so"]);
