I don't know if anyone has done it, but it should be possible since the 
Cg api is C and Cg ships as a dll.  You should be able to use implib to 
create a D-compatible .lib from the cg.dll / cgGL.dll.  Then I bet htod 
or bcd would be able to convert the headers automatically since they're 
quite simple and use very little macro magic.

Of course if someone has already done all that, that would be easier.  :-)
